Does anyone know how to apply these AMD Ryzen Master settings into your BIOS?
I own an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with 12 cores and 24 threads, unlocked for desktop use. I want to retain the gaming mode I set up using AMD Ryzen Master. Playing games like Wow is much better when I focus on just my main six cores, giving them full power. I’m aiming to raise my speeds from 4.2 to 4.4. I’m not sure how to achieve that in the BIOS, especially since it seems to deactivate six cores and keep only six active for gaming.
In AMD Ryzen Master it worked perfectly. I searched online for over half an hour and found some motherboards with core options, but I couldn’t locate it. Below is a picture of the gaming profile I prefer for my game.
As you can see, only six of my cores were activated, and I set all of them to 4400 MHz. Running at 4200 MHz at temperatures around 40°C feels acceptable.
Here’s what my motherboard BIOS looks like, but there’s no option to disable cores or adjust the GHz setting anywhere. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the pictures; I really wish the BIOS was more user-friendly with clear options like ENTER GHZ INCREASE and DISABLE CORES. I have no idea what changes would bring my settings up to those levels in the AMD Ryzen Master program. Thank you for your time.
I question whether removing half the cores would actually improve gaming, as it usually harms performance.
The issue with using RM is that it doesn't need to be active and allows easier management when you prefer all cores to run.
A simple method is adjusting the number of cores in Windows.
Open msconfig.exe, go to BOOT > Advanced options > set "Number of processors" to six. You can change this without entering BIOS—just uncheck the box.
Regarding BIOS settings, Asus refers to it as "Core leveling mode," which is available under Advanced menu > CPU configuration.
EDIT.
Look on YouTube for discussions about core reduction; it might have been helpful in the past, but modern CPUs and Windows can now switch between cores efficiently, maintaining cooler temperatures and enabling higher boost frequencies.
I believed RM enables saving profiles in the import/export section. For my GPU, AMD Adrenaline permits saving and importing both CPU and GPU profiles.
On newer AMD systems, you often find a BIOS area (possibly hidden deep in submenus) that mirrors the same settings elsewhere. This part is where Ryzen Master interacts. Be mindful, the descriptions in BIOS about each setting are usually very lacking. The scales used can differ from what appears in Ryzen Master. For example, the CPU PPT value is shown in mW in your BIOS, so to cap it at 150W you must input a value of 150000.
On the third page, adjust Precision Boost Overdrive to Manual. Set scalar to 10x. Modify Max CPU overdrive to 200. Adjust VDDCR Load Line Calibration to medium. Keep all other settings on auto except XMP/DOCP. Save and exit. Then retest.
