With the latest Ryzen Master software, users do not need to restart their systems when turning on AMD EXPO and can tune more memory parameters.
AMD Ryzen Master 2.14.1.3286 can now run the EXPO directly and adds 5 MHz increments for manual CPU control
AMD just released its latest Ryzen Master software for overclocking AMD Ryzen processors and AMD EXPO compatible memories. The software aims to overclock the components without delving deep into the BIOS, making it a useful resource for enthusiasts.
The software has been around for a number of years and is being improved every day with the latest updates. The latest Ryzen Master 2.14.1.3286 edition is now one of the most advanced overclocking solutions, eliminating the need for system reboots. Typically, applying major changes through the software requires a system restart to take effect, which was also the case for AMD EXPO technology.
AMD EXPO (Extreme Profiles for Overclocking) is used to increase memory speed for better performance and only works with EXPO compatible memories. With the latest update, once the EXPO is enabled, users can apply the changes immediately. Moreover, with some more tuning parameters introduced, it will be easier for the users to adjust memory parameters to ensure better performance through higher frequency and lower cache latency.
That said, the latest version also brings more features and improvements over the previous version, including support for 105W eco mode for AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs rated at 65W and 120W. In addition, the latest version offers the ability to increase the CPU clock in manual control mode in 5 MHz increments.
Another major update is AMD’s discontinuation of support for the first and second generation AMD Ryzen and Threadripper series, i.e. 1000 and 2000 family CPUs. This means that owners with these CPUs will need to continue using previous versions of Ryzen Master to access the new features. The latest Ryzen Master software can be downloaded from the official website.
