ClockTuner 2.0 for Ryzen (CTR) Guide - Conclusions and future plans

Competitors?

Historically, automatic overclocking programs are a huge drain on resources. As such, we can only be offered a "voltage to max" mode, and whoever offers this doesn't care what happens to your system. ASUS has decided that another "voltage to max" will not survive the public and decided to release a Dynamic OC Switcher.

And this feature will be available only for owners of ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (exclusive). This solution allows you to switch between standard boost and profile depending on the current value. That is, you will need to test the custom profile yourself anyway before enabling this feature. The only settings are current threshold, hysteresis, which allows you to ignore short-term current spikes, and the temperature threshold at which the profile will turn off. Simple and still better than the PBO.

Conclusions and future plans

Even though we mentioned in this article about great processors with Zen 3 microarchitecture, Clock Tuner for Ryzen 2.0 is good friends for Zen 2 without any limitations. Renoir hybrid processors (AM4) have received full-format support. Users now have access to a powerful, stable tool with many settings that can help you configure your system to get the best performance. Simultaneously, the tool introduces more automated systems that can help novice users make tune-ups in a few clicks. Rebooting the system is no longer a hurdle, just a step that CTR will pass even without the user knowing it. But the evolution of CTR does not stop there. In the next version of CTR 2.1, I plan to add some more unique features that will allow even more features and performance without threatening the CPU or the motherboard. Among the innovations is the ability to configure the standard boost with several settings, and the first version of the early access is already available for Patreon subscribers https://www.patreon.com/1usmus. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the users who were involved in the development of the project. Only thanks to you, I have the opportunity to develop the project, and I am glad that there are so many enthusiasts among you, for whom CPU optimization is an interesting and important topic.

Curve Optimizer will soon become an integral part of CTR 2.1. Going beyond 5GHz is not the fate of liquid nitrogen users alone. I'm more than confident that most Zen 3 users will be able to get that coveted value. Along with the above innovations, a new alternative mode for finding the ideal frequency in a short time for the Zen 3 processors is being developed (I know not everyone can enjoy a 40-minute tuning). Of course, the research will take some more time, but it will happen in February.

That's it for today. And one more thing, share your results in the comments; I think it will be fascinating and do not sometimes forget to press the SEND STATS button so that I could also assess your progress. Sincerely yours, Yuri.
