Adjust power management settings for Ryzen Mobile Processors.
Based on: FlyGoat/ryzen_nb_smu
RyzenAdjUI_WPF by "JustSkill" is no longer maintained, for GUI please see Universal x86 Tuning Utility or ryzen-controller-team/ryzen-controller.
The command line interface is identical on both Windows and Unix-Like OS.
You should run it with Administrator on Windows or root on Linux.
You can write a shell script or bat to do it automaticly.
$./ryzenadj -h

--dgpu-skin-temp=<u32> dGPU Skin Temperature Limit - STT LIMIT dGPU (degree C)
--apu-slow-limit=<u32> APU PPT Slow Power limit for A+A dGPU platform - PPT LIMIT APU (mW)
--skin-temp-limit=<u32> Skin Temperature Power Limit (mW)
--power-saving Hidden options to improve power efficiency (is set when AC unplugged): behavior depends on CPU generation, Device and Manufacture
--max-performance Hidden options to improve performance (is set when AC plugged in): behavior depends on CPU generation, Device and Manufacture
If I'm going to set all the Power Limit to 45W, and Tctl to 90 °C, then the command line should be:
./ryzenadj --stapm-limit=45000 --fast-limit=45000 --slow-limit=45000 --tctl-temp=90
You don't need to install RyzenAdj because it does not need configuration, everything is set via arguments However, some settings could get overwritten by power management features of your device, and you need to regularly set your values again.
We did provide some examples for automation. And these require configuration during installation.
Because it is very easy to build the latest version of RyzenAdj on Linux, we don't provide precompiled packages for distributions. Just follow the build instructions below and you are ready to use it.
Before you start installing anything, it is highly recommended getting familiar with RyzenAdj to find out what can be done on your device.
Use the CLI ryzenadj.exe to test the support of your device and to benchmark the effects of each setting.
If your values don't stay persistent you may want to consider installing our example script for automation.
- Prepare your favorite RyzenAdj arguments
- Copy the content of your RyzenAdj folder to the final destination
- Put your configuration into
readjustService.ps1and test it as administrator until everything works as expected - Install
readjustService.ps1as Task for Windows Task Scheduler by runninginstallServiceTask.bat
Deinstallation of the Task can be done via uninstallServiceTask.bat
Over Windows Task Scheduler you can check if it is running. It is called RyzenAdj below AMD folder.
Or just run
SCHTASKS /query /TN "AMD\RyzenAdj"
Building this tool requires C & C++ compilers as well as cmake. It requires privileged access to NB PCI config space, in order to compile it one must have pcilib library & headers available.
Please make sure that you have libpci dependency before compiling. On Debian-based distros this is covered by installing pcilib-dev package:
sudo apt install build-essential cmake libpci-dev
On Fedora:
sudo dnf install cmake gcc-c++ pciutils-devel
If your Distribution is not supported, try finding the packages or use Distrobox or Toolbox instead.
The simplest way to build it:
git clone https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj.git
cd RyzenAdj
rm -r win32
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
if [ -d ~/.local/bin ]; then ln -s ryzenadj ~/.local/bin/ryzenadj && echo "symlinked to ~/.local/bin/ryzenadj"; fi
if [ -d ~/.bin ]; then ln -s ryzenadj ~/.bin/ryzenadj && echo "symlinked to ~/.bin/ryzenadj"; fi
It can be built by Visual Studio + MSVC automaticaly, or Clang + Nmake in command line. However, as for now, MingW-gcc can't be used to compile for some reason.
Required dll is included in ./win32 of source tree. Please put the dll library and sys driver in the same folder with ryzenadj.exe.
We don't recommend you to build by yourself on Windows since the environment configuarion is very complicated. If you would like to use ryzenadj functions in your program, see libryzenadj.
