![]() The most welcome new feature for me personally is Phoenix Mode. This means more precise monitoring and more reliable communication, but also less resource consumption by the CTR application itself. Furthermore, CTR in the new version no longer needs the Ryzen Master as an interface to control the CPU, but can directly access the SMU, System Management Unit, of the CPU. While this feature was previously only available on Asus’ Crosshair XIII Hero motherboard, CTR is now making this feature available to users of all other motherboards. But enough of the preface, let’s first take a look at what’s new in this release.įor example, the tool in version 2.0 can dynamically switch between static overclocking and AMD’s automatic boost algorithm, depending on which provides more performance for the current workload situation. I would like to say thank you in advance on behalf of the community! If you want to keep up with upcoming updates on CTR or are just interested in what Yuri is up to throughout the day, follow him on Twitter. So Yuri doesn’t let up, spoiling us Ryzen owners constantly with new versions of his software and that completely free of charge. Today the developer Yuri Bubliy aka 1usmus is going one better with version 2.0 and future planned releases with more features and optimizations are already on the roadmap for this year. Taking into account your cooler and motherboard, you can then decide whether you want more performance, less power consumption or even both as a result. The principle is as simple as it is ingenious: The tool tests each Compute Core Complex (CCX) of a Ryzen CPU for its individual quality and determines the maximum stable clock speed for a given voltage. CTR was already a very popular tool in the community for optimizing CPU voltage and clocking for Ryzen CPUs in the previous version 1. ![]() Today is finally the day, the Clock Tuner for Ryzen is released in the long-awaited second version with support for the latest Ryzen 5000 CPUs and many other outstanding features. Due to the above mentioned issue, we strongly recommend all users of CTR 2.0 RC3 to upgrade to version 2.0 RC4. In the following guide we explain the features, usage and peculiarities of the latest CTR 2.0 RC4 release, logically with minor adjustments to the previous RC3 guide. However, we also want to credit Yuri for delaying the release for CTR 2.0 RC4 at our request until the protections were restored. Even though overclocking comes with the usual canon of possible damage to hardware and loss of warranty, CTR as an “OC tool for everyone” should never have done without these features. In addition to the Max temperature for tuning, there is now a hard temperature limit of 90☌, which also terminates the overclocking and returns the CPU to standard PBO mode.Īlso for us the undocumented change from version 1.1 to 2.0 RC3 had caused surprise, confusion and errosion of confidence in the software and its publisher. The thresholds for PPT, TDC and EDC are now not only effective during tuning but also during operation and if exceeded the overclocking is terminated and the CPU is set back to the default PBO mode. This is changed again with today’s release of CTR 2.0 RC4. ![]()
