ryzen_monitor VS ryzen_smu

That being said, you can likely find more detailed monitoring info using this tool instead since it shows power, voltage, frequency and C-State residency all in one app.

You can read through that blog post if you're curious (there's part 2 dedicated to the software measurements). There is no official software that reports that, but you can use the reverse-engineered tool (it's for Linux though).

How can I state all this confidently? Because I've reverse-engineered Ryzen Master myself and even wrote a Linux driver to show you exactly what Ryzen Master shows. In fact there's a lot of information it leaves out as well. I haven't ported it to other processors aside from my own 3700X but this spinoff project does add support for the 5000 series and quite a few other 3000 series processors. If you're looking for a "Ryzen Master" like monitoring tool, that will almost certainly work.

Windows tools don’t show that FIT limit but you can view them on Linux. Use that tool and experiment, I’m gonna bet that you’re hitting FIT limits preventing it from boosting higher and consuming more power.

In fact, HWiNFO64 and Ryzen Master both pull their information from a sub processor called the SMU. You’ll see this if you open HWiNFO64 and look at sensors. Some will have an ‘(SMU)’ prefix, indicating the information source is the same. This project essentially does the same thing but provides even more detailed info into power consumption as it shows other RoC rails in detail.

Try this. Should give you even more information than RAPL or the amd_energy driver.

For the 5000 series (since although I have reverse engineered the basics for them, I didn’t invest time to port my monitoring tool for those), you can use a derived project from mine called Ryzen monitor that would also show you this.

If you'd like more in-depth monitoring, you can use this which would give you results like this.

If you’re using Linux, you can view them. Needless to say you can’t do this on Windows unless you port that functionality to it, otherwise you’d need to stick to the regular Tctl/Tdie/Tccd temperatures.

for Ryzen cpus there's ryzen_smu which appears to be able to do this. not sure about Intel.

For sensor and whatnot, check out corefreq and ryzen_smu.

Attempting to install Ryzen smu on fedora and I am using the "Stand-alone" installation as I understand that fedora/debian/arch are different.

Only out-of-tree modules being run are drivers for rtw8852be wireless card and ryzen_smu. The retbleed flag is not set and I'm running ext4, not f2fs.

For AMD, if you have query access to the SMU coprocessor, you could use corefreq and ryzen_smu; they're for sensor readouts, and they do slightly different things. ​(And Zentimings and HWiNFO for windows.)

Check out corefreq and ryzen_smu; they're for sensor readouts, and they do slightly different things.

That said, the ryzen_smu tool for linux exposes "CLDO_VDDM", which reads out to 0.9504 volts, regardless of load.

Check out this guide. Also check out Ryzen SMU for better sensor readings on linux.

I forgot to mention, Ryzen SMU can be used to for sensor reading.

CPU/RAM overclocking is best done via the firmware, so at worst you're missing out on sensors and other readouts. That said, if you have a ryzen, there are a number of tools available.
