by Ryzen Master. Upon restart, Ryzen Master will start automatically to register the new
settings. Be patient as Ryzen Master self-starts. Do not manually start Ryzen Master or
one process instance will block the other.
c. When disabling cores, only a Windows Restart automatically done by Ryzen Master is
necessary. When enabling more cores, either within a profile or switching to another
profile with a different core-count setting, the user will be told to initiate a Windows
Shutdown then manually restart the system, or to cancel the core-enabling request.
It is typically best to change and Apply one control type at a time so you can evaluate the
influence of each on performance or more easily understand the error messages of a failed
Apply.
2. As changes are made to a profile, it is not necessary to immediately apply them, but if you
wish to keep them before moving to a different view, the profile must be saved with the Save
Profile command. Or you can reset the profile to the processor's settings when Ryzen Master
was first opened with Reset Profile. When using Reset Profile, the overclocking status of the
processor is not changed until the reset profile is applied, including changes made after the
profile was reset. Use the Copy Current command to clone the Current settings to the active
profile. This is particularly useful if you are building a profile that builds upon another profile.
3. The Speed of the cores can be controlled to 25MHz increments through the vertical slider, the
+ or ends of the slider, or the CPU clock speed text box (type in value, use mouse scroll, use
up/down keyboard keys or click the up/down button). All cores track one another; changes to
one apply to all. Speed is immediately changed when Applied and should be reflected in the
speedometer view, along with a likely increase in temperature if speed is increased.
Sampled core speed and die temperature are displayed at the left end of the row, assuming the
Settings page controls enable Live Monitoring, or individually the Speed or Temperature
sampling controls.
Note that the Speed control and the others below it along the left edge of the interface window
each have a green (attention) or gray (ignor) button. Toggling the button for a control group
determines whether the parameters associated with that group are included in the Apply action.
In the default attention (green) position, the group’s parameters are included in the Apply
action. But when toggled off (gray), the Apply action ignores that control group. This can be
handy when you have settings in the profile that will require a Restart or Shutdown when
Applied but you want to first tune up a CPU speed and CPU voltage.
Example)
a. The memory timing parameters in the profile do not match the Current configuration,
either because you’ve changed them in this profile or another profile has applied to set
the current configuration, and
b. You want to raise the CPU voltage and core speed.
