AFK? PowerSense Helps Save Your Battery

For times when your priority is a long-lasting laptop battery, PowerSense can trigger Windows Power saver automatically after your PC is idle for an interval of time that you specify. To enable this function:

Within System Mechanic, click LiveBoost >> Configuration.
Check the box next to Automatically switch to Power Saver mode after PC is idle for 5 seconds.
Use the arrows to choose an interval of time other than 5 seconds, if desired.
The Power saver plan will engage at the desired time, dimming your monitor and scaling back processor cores to prolong battery life.
