I pretty much use Power Source Optimized, but I edited it a little, so I guess that counts as Custom.

None of the default profiles have the AC management set to adaptive CPU; they're either set to highest or lowest. Also, on battery mode, it seems like the fan runs at the same speed as on AC.

I couldn't deal with out adaptive CPU setting. The fan was on too much.

When I want battery life, I use Power Source Optimized. I use the ThinkPad Default a lot too.

It's only available on the factory install. If you did a clean install and then downloaded Power Manager, you will not get that power profile. |

No wonder. Care to elaborate what settings the profiled consisted of? |

The default setting from the factory is Energy Star profile.
