Where Does CoreCtrl Store Profiles?

CoreCtrl overclocking profiles on Linux, per app settings in the user config.

Last updated

CoreCtrl stores per application GPU and CPU profiles in an ini under the user config home. Global settings, custom commands and profile assignments share that file.

Polkit rules decide whether controls apply or just monitor. Copy the ini with the app closed. New GPUs or drivers can invalidate old keys, so verify after moves.

Where CoreCtrl stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/corectrl/corectrl.ini

Profiles, commands and global settings live here. Copy with CoreCtrl closed. Re check polkit privileges when controls appear stuck.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up CoreCtrl profiles?

Copy corectrl.ini with CoreCtrl closed. That keeps per application profiles and fan curves. Re grant polkit rights on the new install or controls stay read only.

Why did profiles reset after restore?

Quit CoreCtrl, restore the ini, then launch and check each profile. Driver versions shift option names, so invalid entries may reset. Keep a screenshot of curves too.
