Do you have a mobile Ryzen CPU and use Ubuntu? Are you looking to get more CPU performance out of it? Perhaps you want to tweak it to turn down the performance? With the AMD Slimbook Controller, you can! Here\u2019s how to use it on your system.<\/p>\n

\"Slimbook<\/p>\n

Please note that this is a CPU tweak tool. You should only use this type of tool to tweak your Ryzen mobile CPU if you know what you are doing. Do not try this application if you aren\u2019t sure what CPU tweaking means.<\/p>\n

AMD Slimbook Controller<\/h2>\n

The AMD Slimbook Controller is an excellent app for Ryzen mobile CPU users. Currently, the application supports most CPUs from the U series (15W), HS (35W), and HX (40W+ Ryzen 5000 series). This app can help you take control of your CPU on Linux much like Windows users are able to on their operating system.<\/p>\n

Install AMD Slimbook Controller on Ubuntu<\/h3>\n

Before we can go over how to use this application to tweak and tune your mobile Ryzen CPU, you\u2019ll need to install the app first. Currently, the AMD Slimbook application works on any Ubuntu OS, as well as operating systems based on Ubuntu (like Elementary OS, Zorin OS, Peppermint, Linux Mint, etc.)<\/p>\n

To start the installation of the AMD Slimbook Controller on Ubuntu, you must open up a terminal window on the desktop. To open up a terminal window on the Ubuntu desktop press Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard to open up a terminal. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu to launch it.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open, you must add the official Slimbook AMD PPA to your Ubuntu system. Using the\u00a0add-apt-repository\u00a0<\/strong>command, add the Slimbook AMD PPA to your Ubuntu system.<\/p>\n

\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:slimbook\/slimbook\n<\/pre>\n
After adding the PPA to your Ubuntu system, you\u2019ll need to refresh Ubuntu\u2019s software sources. New PPAs do not show up without an update, so this is a critical step in the installation process.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt update\n<\/pre>\n
Following the update, you can install the application. Using the\u00a0apt install\u00a0<\/strong>command below, install the \u201cslimbookamdcontroller\u201d package.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install slimbookamdcontroller\n<\/pre>\n
Upon entering the installation command above, you\u2019ll see Ubuntu ask you for your password. Using the keyboard, enter your username\u2019s password. After entering a password, Ubuntu will collect all packages required to install Slimbook AMD Controller.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Ubuntu is done collecting all of the packages to install, it will prompt you to press the\u00a0Y\u00a0<\/strong>key to continue. Do so to install the app on your Ubuntu system.<\/p>\n
Install via GUI<\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re not a huge fan of the terminal, you can install the AMD Slimbook Controller via the app store. Just enter the commands to add the PPA, then open up Ubuntu Software, search for \u201cAMD Slimbook Controller\u201d and install it that way.<\/p>\n
Using Slimbook AMD Controller on Ubuntu<\/h2>\n
To use the Slimbook AMD Controller, start by searching for it in the app menu. When the app menu is open, you\u2019ll see a lot of options available. Inside of the app, locate the \u201cEnable app at startup\u201d option.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enabling the Slimbook AMD Controller at startup is ideal if you want the performance tweaks to always be in place. If you do not enable it at startup, you\u2019ll have to open it up manually to enable the tweaks.<\/p>\n
After enabling the startup option, locate the \u201cShow indicator icon\u201d option, and click on it. When you select this option, you\u2019ll have a system tray icon for the Slimbook AMD Controller. Enabling this is optional, but it\u2019s a good idea if you want to change your CPU performance at a glance.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
When both options are enabled, move down to the \u201cCHANGE CPU MODE\u201d area. In this area, you\u2019ll see three options. The first option is \u201cLow performance,\u201d the second one is \u201cMedium performance,\u201d and the third one is \u201cHigh performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Select \u201cLow,\u201d and click on the \u201cACCEPT\u201d button if you wish to lower the performance of your Ryzen CPU. You can also select the \u201cLow performance\u201d option in the indicator menu to change it.<\/p>\n
If you need medium performance on your Ryzen CPU, find the \u201cMedium\u201d option and select it in the AMD Controller. Then, click on the \u201cAccept\u201d button to confirm your changes. Or, find \u201cMedium performance\u201d in the indicator menu and select it to change it that way.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
If you require high performance on your Ryzen mobile CPU, you can find the \u201cHigh\u201d option in the app, and click on it to select the performance option. This option is the high-performance option, so keep in mind it may reduce battery life at the cost of your increased performance. In addition, selecting \u201cHigh performance\u201d in the drop-down indicator menu will set it to high mode as well.<\/p>\n
