Although there are many different settings you can adjust in Ryzen Controller, the majority of users will only need to tweak a few of them to improve performance. Most involve changing your laptop's STAPM settings, but there are a few other useful parameters you should also experiment with.

"Skin Temperature Aware Power Management" - or STAPM for short - is AMD's solution for keeping mobile devices at comfortable operating temperatures. It allows devices to boost to a higher power state for a short period of time before being throttled down to keep things cool to the touch.

Your device's STAPM configuration is set by the manufacturer and differs depending on the processor used and the form factor of the device.

There are five settings in Ryzen Controller that affect STAPM:

The power that the CPU draws for extended periods of time (in watts)

The power that the CPU draws while it is boosting (in watts)

The power that the CPU draws directly after boosting (in watts)

The temperature the CPU can reach before boost levels off (in °C)

This defines the length of the long boost period (in seconds)

This defines the length of the short boost period (in seconds)
