All desktop Ryzen CPUs have unlocked multipliers and this official utility from AMD lets you both see exactly what’s going in with your CPU and then tune its performance to get the most out of it. Both Intel and AMD actually have their own official overclocking utilities and even provide sophisticated automation to make finding the highest stable clock easier.įor owners of a Ryzen CPU, that’s where AMD’s Ryzen Master utility comes into the picture. Not only do modern CPUs overclock themselves according to available power and cooling, most desktop CPUs have unlocked multipliers. Today things could not be more different. It got so bad, that chip makers started putting blocks in place to thwart overclockers. Not only would it toast your warranty, it represented a way for users to buy a cheaper CPU and get the same performance of a much more expensive model for free. (TLP has run-on-ac and run-on-bat commands so you can easily set your defaults based on whether you're plugged in or not (udev can see power events too).There was a time when CPU makers frowned heavily on the practice of CPU overclocking. On Windows, 3rd parties have been working on a utility called AATU to improve performance and longevity: Īnd on Linux, I used all the time for my preferred use cases (eg, setting the temp limit below when fans turn on to get a completely silent laptop on battery, lowering max power limits if I wanted to hit a certain amount of battery life, etc). On iGPU mode, the battery life tests for idle and wifi web browsing seem pretty good in Windows. I don't know about your workload, but in you case you ever wanted to poke around, one thing that might be worth looking into is to see whether the MUX switch (only accessible in Windows) is on its dGPU-only mode. Besides the short battery life, I hope your new laptop is treating you well otherwise!
