Hail Hydra!
Sorry, couldn't resist ;-)

Another useless ryzen overclocking tool.

He does things people wants, that are not quite good at overclocking themselves, so I salute him.

The undervlot option will be good for many people. These 5000 series chips will push them selves to the wall on power. I manually changed the PBO settings to reduce the PPT, TDC, EDC and then tweaked the voltage curve a negative 30 and man my 5800x produces so much less heat. I average about 10c lower temps now. My Cinebench 20 score is 1.5% lower than Guru3D's 5800x review and I'm using Noctua NH-D15 air cooling.
Speaking of if your CPU can do it reducing the voltage via the curve optimizer setting can actually yield higher sustained boost clocks as it leaves more headroom. This is what got me the performance back after reducing the voltage limits.

the way modern frequency boost works,and taking into account ambient temperature swings,it's completely irrelevant.
the settings I use in the summer crash in the wintertime just cause the ambient temp is 10-15 degrees lower and the card boosts higher,where it's not supposed to.

Strictly from my experience,CTR has helped me a lot and i find it extremely useful and easy to use,it has reduced my temps a lot(noise level with it as well) 1.375v max voltage peak down from almost 1.48v,measured with hwinfo64.
Tried lowering the voltage this much through the bios,manually,but never got it stable,no crashes or anything just lower scores/fps than when using CTR.
I miss the old days of overclocking when there was no boost,especially for GPUs but nowadays i'm too lazy to fiddle with the bios,and even if i still had the patience i'm sure i wouldn't accomplish what CTR is doing in terms of stability.

As someone who is currently working on my 5950x curve, I can appreciate anything that will make it easier.
It's taking me so long because I'm just doing a few single core curve adjustments a day, with a simple quick prime95 test on that core and a few hours general usage to test stability.
Currently at -12 core 2, -18 all the others. Trying to do it all in one go was just to big a job on a pc I use all day, hence settling for the protracted but easier to manage couple of adjustments a day routine.

I still remember using ClockTuner, following all required steps to do, just to see the results which ended in 20% CPU performance decrease π
