AMD Ryzen Processor and AMD Ryzen Master Over-clocking User’s Guide

The values can be adjusted by selecting one of the four user editable profiles (1 to 4). In the below
example Profile 1 has been selected.
To Overclock the CPU the user needs to adjust the CPU clock. There are five ways to do this with
AMD Ryzen Master:
1) dragging the yellow dot in the clock slider
2) by typing in the desired CPU clock in the text box.
3) by clicking the up and down buttons with mouse
4) by clicking the Speed text box (left mouse button) and then dialing in the desired value using
keyboard up/down button
5) by activating the text box and adjusting the value with mouse scroll wheel
The CPU clock can be adjusted in 25MHz steps.
CPU Voltage can be adjusted by typing in a new value in the CPU VID text box. The example
below uses a value of 1.40V. The CPU voltage can be adjusted in 0.00625V steps.
Note: Some motherboards may apply a voltage offset from the BIOS. In this case the actual CPU
voltage may be higher (or lower) than what the CPU VID value suggests. It’s always a good idea
to monitor the actual voltage level (from the BIOS or with the motherboard vendors monitoring
application).
Caution: Raising the CPU Voltage above the stock setting is the single-most contributing factor
to reduced life of the processor and/or damage due to transistor over-stress and temperature. Each
individual CPU unit may respond to changes in CPU Voltage differently.
The settings are not applied until the user clicks the “Apply” button in the upper right corner of the
UI. Clicking “Apply” will also automatically save the settings to the active profile.
Note: Under overclocking mode all CPU Cores will operate at the same frequency and voltage.
It’s a good idea to verify the performance increase and stability by running CPU performance
benchmark(s) and stability tests (example: Maxon’s CINEBENCH R15). Please close all
background apps to ensure stable and consistent performance results run-to-run, but expect some
variation.
