CTR 2.0 (Clock Tuner For Ryzen) utility has been made available for AMD’s Ryzen 5000 CPUs, of course in an early access version. Earlier the utility tool did not support the new ZEN3 based platform, but the latest update brings the much-anticipated feature final in our grasp.
A new Graphical User Interface has been added to the software and in addition to the support for AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 CPU, the new Hybrid OC feature has also been added. Hybrid OC mode has two main profiles, P1 and P2. The P1 profile offers maximum all-core boost while the P2 profile maximizes gaming performance.
Features of the new update:
- Support for Ryzen 5000 Series (X Processors)
- Support for Ryzen Renoir (AM4)
- Updated Tuning & Diagnostic modes
- New monitoring (No longer needs Ryzen Master)
- Phoenix feature (Restores the operation after reboot or BSOD)
- CTR Hybrid OC (Utilizes both, manual OC & PBO simultaneously)
- Initial Frequency Smart Offset 2.0
- Improvements in software performance and safety
- Improved Profile Management
The first official release for CTR 2.0 will be by the end of January.
Other features for the CTR 2.0 (Clock Tuner For AMD Ryzen CPUs) include:
- New Monitoring – has the highest response time of all existing monitoring programs: 1ms in idle and 7ms in all-core load mode. Does not requires AMD chipset drivers. Additional
information about processor telemetry, the temperature, and the VID of each core (Zen3). - Phoenix feature —BSOD or reboot happened? Worry not! CTR will automatically recover and will finish the diagnostic or profile creation. If necessary, it will test in Cinebench R20 as well.
- Initial Frequency Smart Offset 2.0 – diagnostic mode will predict the recommended
frequencies more accurately, so you can significantly reduce tuning time. Important for AMD Ryzen 5000 processors that have 4 and 8 CCX. The evaluation is based on dynamic FIT, not static data.
- Improvements in software performance – most of the code has been rewritten. CTR now uses less CPU time, particularly when minimized. Special attention was paid to safety when communicating with SMU.
- Diagnostic mode now provides information about the basic coefficients of the voltage curve (Zen 3) as well as information about the values that are recommended for Pl and P2 profiles.
- Advanced logging system allows you to create a logbook individually for each CTR startup.
- Improved profile management system for more comfort.
