Last month, AMD released a new version of Ryzen Master, an application that helps tweak and overclock Ryzen and Threadripper processors. However, there was one important issue that AMD seemed to “forget” to leave out in the update’s documentation: the end of support for the first two generations of Ryzen and Threadripper processors. In other words, these legendary chips are no longer supported in the latest version of Ryzen Master.
Starting with Ryzen Master version 2.14.0.3205, the app requires a Ryzen or Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series processor or newer. Those still using AMD 1000 or 2000 series chips have two options if they want to use Ryzen Master: Upgrade to a more modern hardware configuration, or download an older version of the app.
You can download Ryzen Master from the official website . Now, with support for Ryzen and Threadripper 1000 and 2000 chips ending, AMD offers two download links: one for those with Ryzen 3000 series CPUs and above (version 2.14.0.3205 released in August 2024), and one for Ryzen 1000 and 2000 series (version 2.13.1.3097 released in May 2024).
The AMD Ryzen Master app works on systems running Windows 10 version 19H1 or later and motherboards that support overclocking.
The first generation of AMD Ryzen processors for the AM4 socket was launched in Q1 2017, marking AMD's strong return to the consumer CPU market after a few years of lagging behind Intel. In April 2018, AMD introduced the Ryzen 2000 series on the Zen+ architecture, which brought improved performance and fixed memory issues.
Although AMD has now discontinued support for the first two generations of Ryzen chips, the AM4 socket platform is still very popular. It’s still a great product for gamers on a budget, with the Ryzen 5000 chips featuring 3D cache offering an extremely impressive price-to-performance ratio. Furthermore, AMD continues to release new processors for the AM4 socket.
