Custom performance plans
Custom plans: create, name, select and remove them, then choose three Quick Panel shortcuts.
Custom performance plans give a name to a complete set of tuning values. Each plan keeps its own ASUS base mode, Windows power behavior, supported CPU and GPU limits, undervolt settings, fan curves and hysteresis.
Available in Arsenal 1.1.0 and later
The named-plan library and configurable Quick Panel shortcuts are included in the current stable Windows build.
The plan library uses the same in-window surface as the Performance page. The values shown here are illustrative.
Create a plan
- Open Performance and select the plan whose settings you want as a starting point.
- Select New plan. Arsenal proposes the next unused Custom Plan name; you can replace it before creating the plan.
- Select Create plan. The new plan becomes active immediately.
- Review its supported power, GPU, undervolt and fan settings, then select Apply changes.
A new plan inherits the active plan’s compatible base mode and saved tuning. It is a copy to refine, not a live link: later edits do not change the plan it came from.
Manage the library
The Performance page shows up to five plan choices in the active-profile row. View all opens the complete library when more plans exist.
- Select plan activates any built-in or custom plan.
- Custom names can be edited and saved. Names are trimmed and limited to 48 characters.
- Only custom plans can be removed. Deletion asks for confirmation and removes that plan’s saved tuning.
- If the active custom plan is deleted, Arsenal returns to Balanced.
- The library can hold 20 plans in total: the three built-in plans and up to 17 custom plans.
Choose Quick Panel shortcuts
The Quick Panel’s performance row has three selectable plan shortcuts and a separate Custom button that opens the Fans + Power window. Use the pencil beside Performance modes to choose three different plans. Custom plans appear in the selectors as soon as they are created.
Restore Silent, Balanced, and Turbo returns the three shortcuts to their defaults. The full Performance tile detail still lists every available plan.
Where custom plans appear
| Surface | Custom-plan behavior |
|---|---|
| Performance page | Selects every plan and opens the full create, rename and delete library. |
| Quick Panel | Shows three chosen shortcuts; its Performance tile detail lists every plan. |
| Companion | The Windows bridge exposes the complete performance-mode list to compatible clients. |
| Home, tray menu and Automation | These surfaces continue to present Silent, Balanced and Turbo. |
Tune and test deliberately
Creating a plan does not prove its power, clock, voltage or cooling values are safe for your machine. Change one group at a time, use Apply changes, and test the workloads you actually run. Firmware limits and protections still apply.
