## How does PowerTools work?
|
||||||
|
PowerTools interacts with the system in roughly the same way as outlined in the [README](https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools#cool-but-thats-too-much-work).
|
||||||
|
PowerTools does not save any data; it reads and writes to the SteamOS system (mostly the Linux kernel).
|
||||||
|
Since no data is saved, a reboot will reset all PowerTools settings back to default.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Why does PowerTools only let me select some values?
|
||||||
|
There's a few reasons for this, depending on the values in question:
|
||||||
|
- CPU Max Frequency: These are the only values the CPU supports
|
||||||
|
- GPU PPT Wattage: The rest of the values can already be set from SteamOS's Performance settings in the QAM
|
||||||
|
- Others: logical limits coming from the [specs of the Steam Deck](https://www.steamdeck.com/en/tech)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How do I reset to default settings?
|
||||||
|
Restart your Steam Deck. Nothing in PowerTools is persistent.

Clicking where you shouldn't be, I see...

## This is really great, how can I support you?
|
||||||
|
I already make enough money, thanks. If you really want, donate to some FOSS foundation and/or support a project that's mission critical.
