AMD Ryzen™ Master Overclocking User’s Guide

Important Information

Master process will be highlighted. To stabilize the process list, left-click on the column

Name heading to sort alphabetically, then scroll down to the AMD Ryzen Master process.

• Right-click on the AMD Ryzen Master process, hover over the Set Priority option and set to

'Below Normal' or 'Low'

• Run your stability test applications. If your application can consume 90% or more of the

processing resource, you may notice that AMD Ryzen Master becomes unresponsive as the

application is using all the CPU resource it can consume. Under that extreme condition,

once the application finishes, or your pause it, AMD Ryzen Master will resume monitoring

where it left off when you started the application.

2. If you don't need AMD Ryzen Master open, then simply close it and proceed with your

benchmarking and normal operations. The overclocked settings you configured with AMD

Ryzen Master will persist after closing AMD Ryzen Master.

Example: When running CINEBENCH for maximum score while over-clocked

• Set the Windows power policy to “High Performance”

• Lower the AMD Ryzen Master priority as described above

7.4 Changing Processor or BIOS

On first use after installation, Ryzen Master reads several parameters about the processor’s

condition and established default settings. If the processor is changed, please uninstall then re-

install Ryzen Master to associate the new processor. If a new BIOS is installed, please uninstall

then re-install Ryzen Master to ensure that all new elements of the BIOS are properly associated

with the installation of Ryzen Master.

These considerations will not be necessary with the public version of Ryzen Master 1.2

7.5 Recovering from Uninstall/Install issues

If an existing Ryzen Master version fails to uninstall properly or fails to upgrade properly when a

new version is being installed, use the Microsoft install/uninstall troubleshooter to clean up the

Ryzen Master elements so that Ryzen Master can be cleanly installed.
