1USMUS, who you know from DRAM Calculator for Ryzen and our articles here on Guru3D, has been working hard on a new and amazing project. CTR is short for ClockTuner for Ryzen, a tool that can increase the performance of ZEN2 processors without increasing power consumption.
First off before you start asking ‘where can I download this’ in the forums or via our email, today is the announcement of this tool. It is not yet available, the time frame for the release to download and test is somewhere in September.
The program will be fully automated and has no restrictions. CTR (ClockTuner for Ryzen) Excessive voltage and PPT, low instability boost are 1usmus a lot of time a worry and he decided to help the users because each Zen 2 processor can achieve even more than you think. ClockTuner for Ryzen software will increase the energy efficiency of processors based on the Zen2 architecture. The basic idea of this software is an undervolt for each CCX individually. This makes the processor faster and cooler. At the same time, all energy-saving technologies remain active. Until CTR came along, this was impossible. Another important feature of this software is smart overclocking.
This is not the automation we are used to seeing when + 50% of TBP + 2% performance. Basic basic principle of this software is to evaluate the quality of each CCX (the core cluster that each holds four cores) and to adjust the frequencies individually. Prime95 with a special preset (developed by 1usmus) evaluates the stability of each CCX. A step-by-step algorithm to change the frequency allows the balanced operation for all CCXs without shifting the load on the CPU nodes (modules). As a result, you get an individually tailored system that is ready for any test. CTR also includes a Cinebench 20 plugin test package, which allows you to evaluate your tuning results.
The program is free and can work with any brand of motherboard. Even if your motherboard does not support CCX configuration for CTR, it is not a problem. Low-level SMU access is able to bypass all restrictions of motherboard or processor manufacturers. The software is equipped with a large number of security systems that handle any misunderstanding. CTR also does not contain any insecure code that can be detected by some antivirus programs as a virus.
The latest photos show the results obtained with CTR. The 3900X, for example, was able to increase its performance by almost 7%, while reducing energy consumption by 9.5%. For 3960X + 5% performance and – 4.5% energy consumption. Results without changing the technological process or new architecture. The end user is absolutely free to choose the settings, you can create super-energy-efficient presets or overclock his CPU. I want to point out, tests were not performed on the final version of the software.
Again, the approximate release date – September 2020, keep an eye on Guru3D here for more information.
