Ryzen_smu Alternatives

ryzen_smu reviews and mentions

• 7700X Idle Frequency

  Actually that’s precisely how I made my linux monitor for Zen 2/3. Zen 4 wouldn’t be any different.

• P14s (T14 gen2) AMD battery life on Linux
  3 projects | /r/thinkpad | 6 Jul 2022

  I still wondering how to control CPU, found many stuff such as amd_pstate, ryzen_smu, RyzenAdj, amdctl. Now I'm trying to figure something out but it has too many options ☺

• Question about 3700X frequencies on Linux & Windows
  1 project | /r/AMDHelp | 8 Dec 2021

  P.S. Since you’re using a 3700X, you can check out my project that I wrote for my own 3700X here that allows you to monitor the processor in far more detail than Linux is capable of showing. You’ll see per-core temperatures, true effective frequency per core, true core voltages (per core) and tons of other info. May be interesting to you so that’s why I mentioned it.

• Just upgraded from 3900X to 5900X and saw the stock boost clocks. I think I just had a mini orgasm. What a monster processor.

  The CPU calculates effective clocks itself. It does this by using the PLL frequency which it constantly keeps track of and is able to calculate exactly how many cycles the processor was not gated for (C1/C6). All of this is done in a coprocessor, the SMU, so there’s no variations due to polling inaccuracies, it’s not an average — it is the actual PLL frequency that excludes gated cycles. HWiNFO64 does not show this true value but rather attempts to calculate itself via polling which causes an ‘averaged’ value.

• 5950x Effective Clocks - How Do They Differ From Core Clocks?

  For Linux I made my own version that pulls effective frequencies directly from the SMU, so you don’t run into ‘averaging errors’ due to kernel timing weirdness as this is calculated off-chip on the cIOD of the processor independently of cores.

• 5700x stuck at max boost
  1 project | /r/AMDHelp | 11 Sep 2021

  Source: I literally reverse engineered Ryzen Master to port it to Linux. You can see my project and it’s source code. That shows everything Ryzen Master does (look in userspace/monitor_cpu.c).

• Which is the correct CPU temperature? - Ryzen.
  2 projects | /r/Amd | 11 Aug 2021

  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.

• Should I be worried about this?
  1 project | /r/Amd | 13 Jun 2021

  As the person who ported SMU control based power metrics to Linux and indirectly Zen 3 power monitoring, I’ve received at least a dozen 5600X power metrics samples and all of them listed, at least as reported via the SMU, the same thing Ryzen Master pulls its info from, PPT as 76 W. AGESA versions ranged from 1.1.06 (iirc) all the way to the current 1.2.0.2. The actual fuses themselves report a baked in 76 W limit.

• [General Question] I've seen mixed answers regarding 5600x voltages. As a new 5600x owner, what do I trust?

  BTW, this is terrific!

• Looking for software to report C6 Mhz levels as well as boosted speeds
  1 project | /r/Amd | 26 Apr 2021

  Sleeping cores in Ryzen Master actually indicates whether a core was in a C0 state for less than 7% of the time, seen here from a basic reverse-engineering of Ryzen Master.
