It was recently revealed that in certain scenarios, AMD Adrenalin software changes the overclocking protocols without the user’s consent and may cause undesirable results. AMD confirmed the issue.
AMD Adrenalin software problem
According to information emerging on social media and news sites, AMD Adrenalin software manipulates CPU PBO and Precision Boost settings without permission. In other words, it can adjust the maximum boost frequency by changing the power constraints. Even if the video card profile is at default settings, the situation does not change.
Risk in AMD Adrenaline software
The funny thing is AMD Ryzen only and AMD Radeon chips come into play when they are together. In other words, if one of the Intel processor or Nvidia graphics card is involved, everything continues in a regular way.
AMD stated in a statement that they are aware of the error and have started an investigation. More information will be shared with users after the review. However, it was not disclosed what measures users could take.
AMD made overclocking easier with the Ryzen Master software a while ago. However, overclocking is a sensitive issue and the user should be warned that it may be out of warranty. Since the system makes automatic adjustments, this warning is also not made. There are also side effects of overclocking.
