How to overclock RAM with Ryzen Master

Ryzen Master is an AMD tool that can help you overclock both CPU and memory in a Windows environment. If you're interested in the first option, TipsMake.com's guide to overclocking your CPU with Ryzen Master can help you squeeze even more performance from your system.

Before we get started, it's important to note that Ryzen Master only supports Ryzen 2000 or newer desktop processors. Laptop CPU is not compatible. Additionally, the memory clock speed displayed in Ryzen Master is half the speed (in MT/s) displayed on your memory module. For example, a RAM stick rated at 3000MT/s will show a memory clock of 1500MT/s in Ryzen Master. This is completely normal and indicates your memory is DDR or double data rate memory.

Also, make sure you open Task Manager and take note of your memory speed by opening the Performance tab and clicking Memory on the left side of the window.

To get started, download and install Ryz Master from AMD's website.

On first launch, pay attention to the pop-up window that appears. That's a warning not to push your components beyond their operating threshold or you risk voiding your warranty. Don't worry, because with a few careful considerations, you can safely overclock your memory without any serious risks to your system.

Once in the program, switch to Advanced View if it doesn't open by default. Select Profile 1 or Profile 2 from the left menu and click Default in the right pane at the top. You can ignore other modes, like Precision Boost Overdrive and Auto Overclocking , as they are related to CPU overclocking.

You will only be able to set the Memory Clock speed in this mode. Set it according to the speed your memory card is rated for. You can find this value on your product packaging or by searching the specific module's product page online. To illustrate, the article is entering the value 1800 (half the rated speed of 3600MT/s).
