Hi everyone, I've been working on a side project the last few months and wanted to share it with you. it's called AMD APU Tuning Utility as the title suggests.

This is a tool that I have created for those who want the best performance out of their Ryzen Mobile laptop by altering the power limits just like Ryzen Controller. The tool uses a nice minimalistic UI, is lightweight, and has been designed to help you get the best performance by including built-in presets as a starting point that you can work from. The tool currently works on 2000 to 4000 series laptops and has just been updated to have early-stage 5000 series support.

The reason I have created this was that Ryzen Controller was built on Electron which is extremely system resource-hungry, to say the least. I have tried to fix this issue with Ryzen Controller over the time that I have been helping Storm1er develop it but alas nothing I did had much of an impact hence why I've created this.

The project is still in its early stages so expect a few things to be missing or have one or two bugs. please do not hesitate to tell me if you do try it and run into any bugs or if you have any suggestions of what I could add to the application. You can contact me on here or through my discord server which is linked in the application.

I hope that if you do try it you like it, thanks for your time.

Was hoping to find some help my laptop is getting very hot when gaming up to 100c a few times it’s elevated and has a cooler but it just runs very hot. I’m trying to limit the cou to 80 or 90% but not sure how to do it. I tried using the utility but even if I set it to 80 for the apu limit I feel like the laptop gets just as hit maybe I’m doing something wrong ? Any help is greatly appreciated

I've seen people mention using AMD APU Tuning Utility to reduce power consumption (and presumably heat), but after installing it, I honestly have no idea where to start. I have a 5800H / Legion 5 - any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Hello, I have been using this tool for some time now and I would like to change my settings. Anyone got any good CPU undervolt settings for quitter fans and lower temps? Ryzen 9 5900HS

New to laptop CPU tuning, so please forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere. I'll happily check out any resource you suggest.

I have a gigabyte A7 K1 (5800H [45W], RTX 3060 [130W]). I've been using AATU to limit the CPU temp to 90C, which has been great since before it would go right up to 95-99 when gaming. I wanted to try the curve optimizer to see if I could lower things a little further. I used the preset "Performance," then in the CLOCK CONTROL tab, I checked "All Core" and set it to -10, and clicked Apply Settings.

But when I look under the "INFO" tab, each core shows "CO Offset: 0" Shouldn't this show a -10 on each core?

Is there something I'm missing? TIA

I've been dialing in my Duo 16 since getting home today and I have figured a few more things out. I would like to share my findings with anyone who currently has an AMD 7000 series CPU notebook and wishes to use AMD APU Tuning Utility (AATU/UXTU).

I do not advise using AMD APU Tuning Utility right now until it gets a few more updates.

While using the curve optimizer function results in larger Cinebench R23 scores like my 36121 score. It was really nice, free performance and almost no risk. However it seems while the curve optimizer functions and does indeed boosts R23 scores. It also seemed to break the power limits of the CPU in other programs, in this case Timespy.

I posted a few runs of Timespy last night and while my GPU scores were pretty good, my CPU scores were going down. After some testing today, I figured out the reason why. My CPU would refuse to boost over 3.7GHz all core.

Timespy 19938 (22704 GPU / 11796 CPU) If you look at the CPU clock frequency you will see it tops out at 3.7GHz with an average of 3.5GHz. I finally figured out it was AATU causing the CPU to not boost properly and for some strange reason was causing the 7945HX to not pull max power.

Timespy 20556 (22773 GPU / 13249 CPU) This is was the best run I had today and it was after figuring out what was causing my CPU score to drop below what was to be expected.

The curve optimizer settings do not seem to be working exactly as how it would in the desktop SKUs. Where it reduces (or increases) the voltage each core would receive while not affecting the maximum power the CPU would still be allowed to use. Instead it seems for CB R23 it's working correctly but in my case of Timespy a negative offset in the optimizer would reduce the maximum allowed wattage the CPU could pull.

I don't want this to be a knock on the software because I think it's great in its own right. Giving mobile SKU users more control over the hardware they paid for is an achievement. I would just advise most people to hold off on using it for the newer 7000 SKUs until it gets a few more updates.

EDIT: Good news. For anyone who still wishes to use the curve optimizer function. I can confirm that there are PBO settings available in the BIOS. So you can just use the curve optimizer function from there.

Bad news. I can't find any memory settings (A-XMP/EXPO/DOCP). This does not bode well for people who may wish try faster sodimms (RIP me).

For those who don't know how to enter the BIOS of Asus notebooks. Hold F2 while the notebook is off and power on. Do not release F2 until the BIOS screen pops up.

I'm a bit paranoid and i downloaded this program from Github but i'm still wondering if it's safe, by safety i mean both by if it isn't malicious and if it can damage my Ryzen 5 5500u APU

Aight so i got a HP Pavilion 15-eh1052wm with a 5500u and 8GB ram and the AMD APU Tuning dosent do anything for me fps. Ive tried Auto-reapply and ryzen balanced and they both didnt work. And idk why but something that could be a problem is that according to the MSI After burner, the cpu does not go about 70 degrees and that could be the reason why but idk i could be completely wrong

I am curious if it is useful or recommended.

Currently trying to see if I can make the laptop run cooler, but the AATU tool won’t open whenever I extract and try to run the program. It’s been like this for a while. Has anyone had this issue or does anyone know how to solve it?

Hi everyone,

Looking for help with using AATU. I tried to bring down the clock of my 6900hs using AATU but it is not working. I tried both enabling and disabling PBO but no difference. Does anybody have an idea? Thank you.

Update: u/Satirical0ne suggested using power options to control the max frequency but it doesn't work on my laptop.

The amd apu tuning utility has to stay open ? Or i can close him later make the changes ? Plz somebody help
