This thing is a great way to brick (until you offline reflash, which all AM5 boards have a USB port for) your ASUS AM5 board, since they seemed to have relocated settings on the NVRAM for some unknown reason.

Another way is resetting BIOS to factory settings. I am using a screwdriver to short two pins. Needed that because I was overclocking RAM for a better throughput for LLM. Hopefully you saved your last working settings. You can save to USB from BIOS. By the way, I think for my system this tool is not really neccessary because BIOS seems to offer at least the same settings (BIOS >= Master Utility).

  I just use Buildzoid's standard baseline timings for Hynix (on Youtube, highly recommended) and then set it to 6000, I remember them pretty well by now. I'm more annoyed about it turning on the AC Installer WUBT backdoor every time.

Also its self-update is so genius, it opens a terminal window on the foreground that just hangs in there and does something (I guess?), mind you this is without you running the actual app... once I've seen it do this about 3 times it was going to the trash, where it belongs.

  Personally I like AMDAutoUpdate which is a scheduled task that'll pop a terminal window on your desktop at 12:00 sharp.

    Was that sarcastic? For me that window always hangs and I need to close it manually.

      Not at all, I really rather like it when I'm playing a game and Windows tabs out to switch to a blank, unresponsive terminal to contemplate my life choices. It's like those "time to stand" reminders on an Apple Watch, except for throwing the computer out the windows.

        Sounds like it's your fault for playing vidja games after midnight, and AMD is kind enough to remind you to stick to a proper sleep schedule.
