    So whenever I start my laptop or restart it, the ATI GPU kicks in. I've been running on it almost exclusively but I realized I get decently lower temps with the HD running. I went through all the settings but I can't figure out how to get it to boot with the HD GPU running, rather than the ATI. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks.

    I figured it out. Just disable the "automatically pick Intel HD on battery power." Apparently that turns off the auto switch...
