AMD Ryzen Master Application
NOTE:
 AMD Ryzen Master requires that HPET (High Precision Event Timer) is enabled within Windows
10. Please refer to Chapter 8.1 for additional information on HPET.
 AMD Ryzen Master requires that the Windows 10 Power Options be configured such that the
Power Button mode is set with Fast Boot disabled. This is necessary to allow the processor cores
to all be enabled after a system power cycle.
5.1.2 CPU overclocking example
Examples of CPU configurations, cores and frequencies described herein are examples only and
do not necessarily reflect commercially available products or overclocking range.
The CPU core clock is by far the most important performance tuning knob available on the AMD
Ryzen processor. The following example shows the necessary steps for CPU overclocking using
AMD Ryzen Master.
In the below example AMD Ryzen Master has been launched while the CPU is running at the
given core clock speed and CPU voltage. AMD Ryzen Master opens the Current profile (“C”
profile tab in the lower left corner of the UI). The Current profile reflects the current CPU settings
from boot or as applied from an AMD Ryzen Master profile; it is read-only and does not directly
allow user adjustments.
