AMD Ryzen Master now lets you enable EXPO and overclock memory

AMD has released a new version of its Ryzen Master overclocking utility, which brings many improvements and features useful for Ryzen 9000 series CPUs and EXPO memory profile users.

Ryzen Master version 2.14.1.3286 introduces a significant quality-of-life improvement for EXPO users: the ability to apply EXPO profiles in real time without requiring a system restart. This means you can tweak your memory settings and enjoy the performance benefits without interrupting your workflow or diving into the BIOS.

In this update, AMD has also added a new ECO Mode for Ryzen 9 9000 and X3D series CPUs. This mode limits the processor's TDP to 105W, potentially reducing power consumption and temperatures without sacrificing too much performance. The update also includes further optimisations and refinements, including improvements to the Curve Optimizer and the ability to adjust CPU frequency in 5MHz increments. The detailed update notes can be found below:

  • Adds support for 105W Eco Mode to systems utilizing AMD Ryzen 9000 Series 65W and 120W desktop processors
  • Adds support for systems utilizing AMD Ryzen 9000 Series desktop processors for the AM5 platform
  • New features introduced (applicable to select CPUs)
  • Memory can be overclocked on-the-fly (applying EXPO profile does not require a system restart)
  • Additional memory tuning parameters are introduced, providing further customization options for optimizing memory performance
  • DF P state information is provided in the Home view
  • In IRM control mode users can adjust the PBO parameters (EDC, TDC, and PPT) up to the IRM limits but not exceeding them
  • In Manual control mode CPU speed can be adjusted in steps of 5 MHz
  • An advertisement banner has been incorporated, providing information on the AMD products
  • Support discontinued for AMD Ryzen and AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1000 and 2000 series processors

While the changelog mentions removing support for Threadripper 1000 and 2000 series CPUs, this isn't new. AMD officially ended support for these older processors back in September.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
