ClockTuner for Ryzen to be Overhauled and Updated (CTR v2.0)
We've written a lot about this software and are of course the official host for it, and it's been a popular tool ever since the beginning. Yuri emailed us this morning with a bit of a teaser presentation for the soon to be released CTR version 2.0
The good news first, CTR 2.0 will be supporting Zen3 based processors next to a couple of new features and looks. Newly-introduced is a Hybrid OC mode so that the tweaks will be commenced simpler than before. It's a balance in-between manual and automated tweaking. One big change is that the pending update will no longer require Ryzen Master as the CPU interfaces faster than ever with the application, 2ms when the CPU is idle, and 15ms when all-cores are loaded.
This morning, Yuri sends out a few slides of what you can expect, including a roadmap indicating v2.1 in H1 2021. That revision will see the automatic curve optimizer for Zen3 CPUs being utilized, which is rolled out in the new AGESA firmware. A v2.2 version is expected to launch in the third quarter, which would support AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series and mobile Ryzen 5000 processors.
CTR 2.0 is expected to become available for download late January 2021.

Shame that i get better results with default mobo boost settings
CTR 1 is just a bit of a mess imo

Maybe but CTR allows me to flick between pre-sets depending on what im doing, the ability to run with lower voltages at the press of a button is nice.

@Goiur
most dont see any improvement for gaming, as CTR is about all core oc.
outside rendering/encoding etc, my perf for gaming dropped, as ST/SC clocks are much lower.
haven't tried with the XT, but the 3600x and two 3800x behaved the same.
sure i could maybe gain a bit on voltage/temps, but im staying around 50 peaks at 60*C in gaming, so not really a problem.

Did not have the chance to test the 1.0 myself, anyway, with the 2.0 we are supposed to be able to oc the strong ccx with higher clocks and that should improve gaming performnace where there is some kind of bottleneck.

I have the same and use this on several games to drop the Voltage of my Asrock x570 Taichi and run way way cooler, even on my custom WC loop, I run at 4k so 4.2ghz with 1.175v makes no noticeable difference ingame to running the CPU at 4.4ghz and over 1.3v.
