WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:08.080
now if i'm Intel at this point i'm hoping beyond hope that ryzen

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:13.280
has reached his full potential zen 2 basically spelled the end for the

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.720
lakes in enthusiast's eyes so much so that it's now starting to leak into the

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:21.439
mainstream even but unfortunately for Intel those enthusiasts have been busy

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:27.519
and it ain't the end one usmas is that how i pronounce that

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.920
of the ryzen drm calculator fame reached

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:36.559
out to us with a special little project that he's calling workstation tool

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.920
it's an automatic overclocking and

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:43.120
simultaneous under volting tool that

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.000
promises to both improve performance

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:51.840
and decrease power consumption on your AMD ryzen processor is it over does AMD

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:56.320
have the high ground let's fire it up

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.719
and see for ourselves shall we and we're going to see if today's video

00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.000
is brought to you by glasswire yes it is

00:01:02.239 --> 00:01:07.840
instantly see your current and past network activity with glasswire you can

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.479
detect malware and lock badly behaving apps on your pc or Android device and

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.840
use offer code Linus to get 25 off at the link down below

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.320
now i know what you guys are thinking come on

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.439
this is just another one of those pc performance tune-up tools registry

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:37.840
cleaners that claims it's going to improve performance but actually doesn't

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:42.720
do anything and i understand your skepticism we even had someone reach out

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:47.439
about sponsoring a video with their performance tuning tool

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:51.680
and i installed this thing and i'm like okay so i've got all these numbers that

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.280
say oh you are going 30 faster on networking but i was like hey what

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:59.119
benchmarks can i run to demonstrate it's working they were like oh you want to

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:03.439
run benchmarks whoa what no

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.360
we have from one usmas screenshots

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:08.800
showing in real benchmarks that people actually use like cinebench as much as a

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.840
9 performance improvement after running

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:19.760
this software and the craziest part he's providing it to the community for free

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:26.080
now it is a little bit complicated to set up which is why i brought an Anthony

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.760
hello it's not as complicated as zen underclocking has been in the past

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:34.720
first you need to make sure that you're using a zen 2 CPU zen one and zen plus

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.080
as well as renoir epus are not currently supported you'll also need to make sure

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:44.080
your BIOS is up to date with the gsa 1.0.0.4 combo pi being the lowest one

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:47.280
osmis has tested to work while you're in your BIOS there are still some settings

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:52.800
you'll need to change as well you need to make sure your CPU load line calibration setting is set to level 4

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:56.480
for ASUS motherboards or level 3 for other vendors and you'll want to set CPU

00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:00.000
phase control to standard if your motherboard has a setting for it ASUS

00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:03.920
motherboards also have a CPU current capability setting which you should set

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:07.599
to 100 and once all that's done save your changes and boot into Windows where

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:11.920
you'll want to make sure you've got net framework 4.8 or higher installed and

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.599
then download ryzen master as this is how the app gets its power frequency and

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:18.720
temperature readings with all that done you're almost ready to get started

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:22.959
download and extract the archive to a folder you can access we use the desktop

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:27.360
and then download and extract cinebench from maxon's website not the Windows

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.720
store this version doesn't work the app actually uses cinebench as a useful

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:34.720
before and after comparison between settings and maintains a database of

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:40.000
your performance results when all that's done we just run wst in the main folder

00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:43.200
just like this here's the app and what you'll see here

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.560
at the top is a bunch of information constantly

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.239
updating this is coming from ryzen master on the left hand column we have

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:56.480
the core numbers so we've got core 1 core 2 core 3 core 4 on ccx1 5678 on

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.120
ccx2 etc in the middle we have the effective clock speed of each of these

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.560
cores right now they're basically nothing because the system is more or less idle

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:10.959
and on the right hand side we have a number that indicates exactly how good

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.280
the core is for overclocking this is the

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.919
number the BIOS indicates to Windows to tell it which cores it should more

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:22.560
heavily load so for our system here looks like ccx1 has pretty good cores

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.120
ccx2 is it's all right czx3 not so great four

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.600
that seems to be the lowest out of them all five is pretty good actually that's

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:36.160
the best of them all we also have CPU usage CPU temperature current voltage

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:41.520
total package power as well as some other AMD related power metrics here let's

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.880
take a look at the settings what the app does is it takes

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:49.199
the reference frequency here which is the starting level and the maximum

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:54.080
frequency that you enter in which is the end level and what it does is it steps

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.600
through each of those frequencies testing it each time to see which cores

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:03.440
are actually running at those frequencies which ones are erroring out which ones are getting too hot that kind

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:08.479
of thing as it does that that's where cycle time comes in 240 seconds that is

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:13.759
four minutes is the default for how long it uh tests each iteration you can

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:16.800
imagine this takes quite a while to do but the outcome should be pretty great

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:22.800
now a couple of other settings here are a little bit confusing ccx delta this is

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:28.320
actually set on a per CPU basis and it should be set automatically based on

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.880
what your CPU is that being said it's not something to really worry about

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:37.120
ryzen 3 to 5 and 7 i think are good for 75

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:41.440
megahertz ryzen 9 i think is and

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.880
fifty and uh Threadripper is 75 to 100.

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:45.680
we also have the testing mode here currently it's on avx light

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:50.400
which one osmos actually says is

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:56.400
similar in terms of power draw to what you might expect from a full avx

00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:00.080
workload except it's not quite as hot so it's useful for testing coolers that are

00:05:58.479 --> 00:06:04.960
a little bit less capable than what we have here the only other thing that's going to be relevant for most people is

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:09.919
the reference voltage and target voltage again this is the start and end points

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:14.080
much like the frequency here these are all pre-configured with values that the

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.759
software kind of thinks you might want to use so i mean if you want you can

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.919
just hit start and see what happens otherwise you can tweak these things like the

00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:25.680
maximum temperature or where you want to start and stop just to

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:30.560
kind of narrow things down or yeah try your luck aside from that there's not a

00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:34.800
whole lot else to the program itself so uh let me go ahead and set a short cycle

00:06:32.880 --> 00:06:37.840
time and uh hit start and see what happens so the first thing that's going

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:42.160
to happen is cinebench r20 is going to pop up and it's going to do a baseline

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.880
run this is your CPU as it is normally so let's see what we get here it's a

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:51.360
3970x looks like there was a previous run on this that was 16 927 let's see

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.120
what we get here 16 932 a little bit better now it's going to go through it

00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:00.160
set the parameters that we have here so it uh we only have 4 000 set for both

00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:03.280
the reference and max frequency and 1100 for the reference and target voltage one

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:07.840
of the most interesting and really exciting things about this program is

00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:11.440
that not only does it do all of this it still works with all of AMD's power

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:15.599
management features you're basically getting the best of both worlds between

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:20.240
a straight underclock as well as overclocking per ccx it should make a

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:26.000
huge difference so that's it run the utility and everything's dialed in i'm

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:30.319
ready to get my performance gains basically yeah it does take a little bit

00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:33.680
more effort than that uh it does require a little bit of tweaking from the user's

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:39.199
perspective especially for a chip that one of us hasn't actually tested yet

00:07:35.919 --> 00:07:41.520
which is the 3970x he's got a 3960x so

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:46.560
it took me a little bit of doing and a few bsods later but here we are and

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:50.880
should have everything all dialed in for a nice underbolt it's actually a little

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:55.680
bit slightly overclocked as well so it's about 3.9 on all cores with a couple of

00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:59.599
ccx's dialed back one or two ticks that's really cool having that level of

00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:04.720
granularity where you can just like AMD would tune them at the

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:09.440
factory go okay yeah this one's ever so slightly better than that one let's

00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:13.919
turn it up just a little bit more super cool yeah like you could do this

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:16.800
manually with ryzen master but like from

00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:20.960
experience it takes a lot longer than this does and it is not as automated so

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:24.400
like to do all of this would have taken so much longer because i had to set up

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:27.440
all the testing myself i had to crank everything on my own and you'd have to

00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:32.800
be sitting there staring at it the whole time yeah okay so i can run cinebench then yeah

00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:37.760
theoretically there's not really a whole lot to go wrong here if it's overclocked

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:42.240
then it's gonna be faster unless it crashes unless it crashes boy these

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:46.240
things are fast ain't they oh yeah now one tip we got from one asmos via email

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:52.560
as we were going back and forth about this was that the tool works best for

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.360
cpus that have more ccx's

00:08:52.560 --> 00:09:01.360
so wait what was our before number the before number was uh 16 9 something that

00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:05.360
is a smaller performance gain than i expected it's small but at the same time

00:09:03.760 --> 00:09:08.560
the actual overclock was small it's within about 100 megahertz of what it

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:12.320
would normally be doing so that could come down to us just having a chip that

00:09:10.959 --> 00:09:16.240
doesn't undervolt and overclock particularly well then yeah i tried

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:19.519
doing a more aggressive overclock and while i could get stable results it

00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:24.640
wasn't consistent and i think that might be down to either our chip or our

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.320
load line calibration or our phase control settings while dialing it in

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:32.160
it's best to have it on standard like i said but he came back and said hey

00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:34.959
if you're having issues with it with stability try sending it to a stream

00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:40.399
anyway and that should give you a little bit more overhead as far as stability

00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:43.839
goes it might increase your thermals but that's yeah i mean when you're dialing

00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:49.200
it in that's less of a problem so then should we have a look at what our thermals ended up like do you have the

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:53.839
before thermals well i have if you go to the benchmark tab here this is our

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:58.720
before run and this is our after run and our power usage is over there as

00:09:55.680 --> 00:10:00.000
well before and after wow so 30 watts

00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:04.160
less and ever so slightly greater performance

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:07.120
yeah so if i were to keep the same level of power i could increase the

00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:10.880
performance more the only problem again being that

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:15.600
this is a pre-production piece of software and not tested on every chip

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:21.040
he's going to have it all massaged out by the time it's ready for release so

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:26.160
the price is definitely right in a nutshell wst does automatically

00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:29.839
what we used to have to do manually when overclocking our processors and what i

00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:33.519
think is really cool is the fact that it uses the same

00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.839
standard tools for both measuring improvements in performance as well as

00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:43.279
validating stability that we as enthusiasts have been using for years

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:47.600
and years now as you've seen here your mileage may vary you might not get

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:51.200
a ton more performance or you might not even get a power consumption improvement

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:54.640
there's nothing that one usmas can do about how good your chip came out of the

00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:59.839
factory but at least you've got it now and this

00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.760
really puts like custom levels of tuning

00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:05.839
overclocking in the hands of people who only really know how to press

00:11:03.839 --> 00:11:09.279

thanks for watching guys if you enjoyed this video and you enjoy this kind of

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:08.880
like tuning software wow have we done much in the way of like tuning software

00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:11.920
it hasn't really been much we never even we never even checked out his last piece

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.839
of software so we're not going to throw to our video find a really good video on

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:19.680
um dram calculator vram calculator yeah

00:12:17.839 --> 00:12:25.839
yeah find a good one on dram calculator and we'll just kind of throw to that

00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.839
it's also from one sms and also free
