ClockTuner 2.1 Can Bin Certain Ryzen Cores to 5.0 GHz
Clock Tuner for Ryzen has been brought to Beta 2.1; however, let me make this very clear before you start emailing me; this version is not yet available for public download. However, the update can be attractive as the Hybrid OC feature brings 5 GHz in the vicinity for individual ZEN3 Ryzen processor cores.
Yuri ‘1usmus’ Bubliy posted a few new slides on his progress. CTR is designed to automate this process of fine-tuning your Ryzen processors based on ZEN2 or ZEN3. The upcoming PX Profile is still under development; thus, it may change before the release, but it would make it possible to get part of the cores of a Ryzen 9 5900X running at a clock speed of 5.025 GHz while the vcore voltage is even slightly lower.
Bubliy has gotten the fastest threads of a Ryzen 9 5900X at 5.025 stable, while the vcore voltage has dropped from 1.475 volts to 1.450 volts. Of course, there is no guarantee that the other CPUs will also run at these clock speeds; that depends on the chips' quality. The remaining threads run at slower speeds for stability reasons. The diagnostic program will also be 30% faster with CTR 2.1 without compromising the measurements' accuracy.
New from YURI is that if you like early access to the beta download (Clock Tuner for Ryzen 2.1), you'll need to be an early access patron, at the sum of 14.50 EUR ex vat per month. The public release has no date set just yet, but Yuri mentions upcoming spring.

Not that there were many clock tuners around before this one.
What other software similar to this you are talking about?
I was talking about previous ryzen clocktuners and ryzen calculator. Nothing ever worked for me or made sense.

I Can be sure , it is +200 right now , flat 4850 on two best cores. And i could do around 5000 on this chip but i can't becasue Gigabyte is lazy as F.... . Of course you won't use +500. I just mentioned options that are not simpli avaliable anymore.
I had +500PBO too, but that doesn't mean that you will use more than 200 even if you set 500. You can't be even sure that you're using all the 200 that you have right now

I had to use a beginning reference voltage of 1350mV to actually have CTR 2.0 function ideally--even though the diagnostic worked all the way down to 1150mV, at 1250mV--the tuner default starting voltage--the Tuner would crash immediately. I found that 1300mV starting allowed the Tuner to function as well, but it would not clock the CTX cores as high as using 1350mV for the starting tuner voltage, which seems to be the sweet spot for my 3900X. It's still 150mV shy of the 1500mV seen at stock clocks and voltages--presumably for single-threaded boost, which is turned off under CTR's manual overclocking default operation. For anything that uses more than a single, solitary core, my 1350mV CTR clocks are much faster than stock--of course.

What is the difference between CTR and bios based PBO + Curve Optimizer? Already am hitting boost clocks of 5025. The part I do not like about the curve optimizer is that it raises the voltages beyond 1.500 (-25 was my limit but did not like the resulting VID voltages so settled for -20). Hopefully this is what he has addressed with CTR, otherwise what is the point...automated versus manual. Manually setting eight cores hardly took any time. Again, CTR must be meant for 12 cores and above.
