+Out of all the TDP Tools, I would ask myself any of these questions before deciding:
* Do I want to Tinker and be in charge of every detail? Choose [Ciphray.bat](https://discord.com/channels/243411108940087297/1065818597844340777/1076236291705946182)
* Do I want some control but not so much granularity? Choose [Motion Assistant](https://github.com/lertsoft/GPD_WIN4/releases/tag/v1.1.62)
* Could also choose Handheld Control Panel, Which has not launched yet! but check this repo for [HCP](https://github.com/project-sbc/Handheld-Control-Panel)
* Do I want the program to just do everything for me and I just choose the max TDP? Choose [SmarterTDP](https://github.com/BillPlus/SmarterTDP)
-Hopefully this helps you decide too.
-Also give them all a try as you might find some more intuitive than other or you might find some exoteric function that you didn't know was possible.
