Honestly, I usually just go for the balanced setting. It seems to offer a good mix of performance and energy saving without any fuss.
I've found that leaving power settings at default usually works best. Most motherboards and CPUs from the last few years come with firmware that manages power effectively, so let the hardware handle it. They do a pretty solid job!
I personally prefer to set everything to high performance. It makes sure everyone can work efficiently without waiting around for things to wake up!
If you're using edge devices, it's a good idea to power everything down by 5 PM. It helps save energy and prolongs the equipment lifecycle.
Haha, true! But it might drive up the power bill!
