- AMD Ryzen Master update adds official support for AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs on the AM5 platform.
- It expands 105W Eco Mode and allows EXPO memory profiles to be enabled without restarting the system.
- Support for older AMD Ryzen 1000 Series, AMD Ryzen 2000 Series, and early AMD Ryzen Threadripper chips has been dropped.
AMD has released a new update to their famous Ryzen Master CPU tuning and overclocking software, version 2.14.3.5040. This version includes several significant changes that are clearly targeted at the current AM5 platform and Ryzen 9000 processors.
The update mainly centers on four very specific, or at least noticeable or relevant, areas: official support for Ryzen 9000, expansion of the 105W Eco mode, the ability to activate EXPO profiles without restarting the system, and the end of support for the older Ryzen 1000 and Ryzen 2000 series, as well as Threadripper processors.
The most significant upgrade is the official compatibility with AMD Ryzen 9000 processors for socket AM5, which was long delayed. This is required for Ryzen Master to accurately recognize these CPUs based on the Zen 5 architecture and allow their tuning from the software itself.
Users may now monitor processor behavior with Ryzen Master and modify parameters related to Precision Boost Overdrive, manual frequency adjustments, or automatic tools like Curve Optimizer straight from Windows, eliminating the need to frequently resort to the BIOS.
Another key feature is the extension of Eco mode to 105W, which is intended to reduce power consumption and temperature without losing performance. With this update, AMD enables this mode to be used on Ryzen 9000 CPUs with TDPs of 65W and 120W, allowing for significantly more energy-efficient configurations. This is especially good for tiny systems or systems where maintaining temperature control without wasting too much power is critical.
Furthermore, Ryzen Master now allows you to activate EXPO profiles directly from the software without having to restart your PC (and it actually works, unlike the last time). Previously, applying an EXPO profile required entering the BIOS or restarting the computer for the memory controller to implement the changes, but with this update, you can perform short testing and tweaks on the fly without disrupting what you’re doing.
The fourth major change is a farewell. AMD has chosen to drop support for Ryzen and Threadripper 1000 and 2000 processors from Ryzen Master 2.14.3.5040. This means that these CPUs will no longer be able to run the most recent versions of the software, which makes sense given that these architectures were released some years ago and are very different from the current AM5 platform.
Aside from these four changes, AMD mentions some other changes, such as an updated stress test that can be run from the “Apply & Test” or “Curve Optimizer Automatic” options, new memory tuning parameters, visualization of the Data Fabric’s DF P-state in the main interface, the ability to manually adjust the CPU frequency in 5 MHz increments, and expanded configurable limits for PPT, TDC, and EDC when using IRM mode for Precision Boost Overdrive.
Of course, there is support for the new 800-series AM5 chipsets, such as the X870 and B850. Overall, it is not a major update, but it is a much-needed refresh for the current Ryzen ecosystem, and it was long overdue.
