Question Setting up low power mode from BIOS

[davide445]

Having an Asus Prime B450-Plus mobo I was thinking how to setup a low power mode where the system didn't standby (I'm having problems in wake it up using WOL) but after a while stop most of the components (GPU, disks, CPU cooler) so to dont use energy and wear up.

My best option is if there is any BIOS setup in doing this, due having a dual boot Windows/Linux want to avoid troubling around every OS specific settings, having an unique consistent setup reliable at every boot (accessing the PC mostly from remote).

I don't think there is a BIOS setting that overrides power settings defined in the OS. What you can do in BIOS is usually enable/disable system power states (S3/S4 etc.).

From Asus BIOS seems I'm able to enable/disable only S4 and S5 states (so hybernate and soft shutdown) that's not what I need, S3 (sleep) is what is creating me troubles (unreliable WOL), seems I will need to work with specific OS settings.

When you say disks do you mean actual spinning rust HDDs? Those have settings in their firmware to do with sleep.
The fans controls should be in the bios.

Having both SSD (1xNVMe, 2xSATA) and 1xHDD, so will be good if can suspend the power to every of them, even if of course the priority is suspending the spinning HDD.
Need to have a deeper look at BIOS manual.
