Couple of ideas and typo fix

Post by RichB93 »

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for this great little app! I just have a few ideas and a typo fix.

I'm sure that the GPU should be referred to as PCIE GPU and not PECI; After all its Peripheral Component Interconnect Express and not Peripheral Express Component Interconnect!

Secondly would it be possible to have profiles? I'd gladly pay a small fee for a 'pro' version that could support multiple profiles and/or change settings when it detects a system state change (for example, when the dedicated graphics card automatically kicks in).

A final idea of mine is simply to have a simple toggle button that goes between the automatic control and maximum speed - This would be incredibly useful!

Thanks again for a great app! :)

Cheers,

Rich

It's PECI according to Apple Service Diagnostics Test.

Yes, profiles are coming soon

Really? PECI (platform environment control interface) is what is used by CPUs re: thermal management?

Oops on my behalf anyway! :oops: It has just always looked odd to me as I would've thought it would've been referred to as PCIE. Ah well! Thanks for cleaning up the confusion :P
