Igor Wallossek recently reported that the AMD Adrenalin graphics card software (version 22.3.1) changed users' CPU settings without their knowledge, raising questions about transparency with AMD. Igor Wallossek of Igor's Lab examined the possible irregularity of the AMD GPU software. The rumor surrounding the software is that the AMD Ryzen Master module allows the program to change the CPU PBO and the Precision Boost settings without user consent.

Users on Reddit have commented about the posted investigation by Wallossek, and it appears that the problem arises when the AMD CPU and GPU are combined due to the hardware supporting the company's Ryzen Master SDK. However, if a user were to combine one company's processor, such as an Intel CPU, and an AMD graphics card, or vice versa, the issue does not happen. When an AMD CPU and GPU are placed together in a system, the Adrenalin driver activates the PBO, or processor overclocking settings, when assigning a GPU profile. This issue also occurs with the default profile, which initiates itself immediately.
