The AMD Ryzen Master is not preserving original configuration settings.
Hi Guys,
I’ve been trying to use Ryzen Master to optimize my CPU (Ryzen 7 1700). Being new to this, I thought it would be simpler than changing BIOS settings. After using the tool and running Cinebench, my system stayed stable at 3.7 GHz and 1.3v. But every time I restart, those settings disappear and it goes back to default.
I’ve also installed the latest drivers from AMD and tried the AMD Ryzen power profile, which was suggested elsewhere to solve this issue—but it didn’t help.
Any suggestions? Maybe there’s another reason why it fails after a reboot? I’m using an ASUS Prime X-370 MoBo with 16GB G-Skill RAM.
Unfortunately, Ryzen Master doesn't retain the overclocking configurations - this is built into its design. The approach involves using Ryzen Master to adjust and verify settings during operation. After achieving the desired performance and stable system behavior, you transfer those identical settings into the BIOS to lock them in permanently.
This process works only if the motherboard supports Ryzen CPUs and has a BIOS that allows overclocking. For example, Asus integrated a Ryzen 7-1700 desktop CPU into a laptop (Asus ROG GL702ZC) and removed the overclocking features from the BIOS despite the hardware supporting them, leaving the user with limited choices if they wish to preserve those settings.
You don't know enough about that software to judge its quality. I suggest you give MSI Afterburner a try.
Unfortunately, Ryzen Master doesn't retain the overclocking configurations - it's built into the design. The idea is to adjust and verify settings live using Ryzen Master, then save them in the BIOS once you're satisfied with the performance. This approach works only if your motherboard supports Ryzen CPUs and has a BIOS that allows overclocking. For example, Asus integrated a Ryzen 7-1700 desktop CPU into a laptop (Asus ROG GL702ZC) and removed the overclocking features from the BIOS despite the hardware supporting them. So for me, the best choice is to open Ryzen Master and reapply the settings each time I power on the machine.
Believe me, if I discover a solution, I'll share it here.
Also, MSI Afterburner is intended for GPU overclocking, not CPU.
