Creator of CTR (Clock Tuner For Ryzen), Yuri Bubliy (1musmus), announced the latest update to its tool that will allow users running AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Desktop CPUs to pass 5.0 GHz clocks. The new CTR 2.1 update also offers a variety of features and upgrades to the CTR user interface to make it easier for users.
It is now possible to achieve 5.0 GHz clock speeds on AMD Ryzen 5000 ‘Zen 3’ Desktop CPUs, all thanks to CTR 2.1 (Clock Tuner For Ryzen) Update
CTR (Clock Tuner For Ryzen) has undergone extensive development over the past few months and the latest update would enable the 5 GHz dream clock for many users using the AMD Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPU.
There are a range of features that are part of the new Hybrid OC mode, but the primary one is the PX profile, which is said to be the best solution for games, benchmarks and overall workload. The PX profile delivers a stable fixed (and effective) frequency, which is not affected by any limits, Thermal EDC choking, temperature clogging or stretching. With the PX profile you can get higher clocks while running the slide at lower voltage than what you get outside the box. It is said to be safe and easily adjustable.
The following are the key highlights of the CTR 2.1 (Clock Tuner For AMD Ryzen) update:
- CTR will automatically find the best core points for PX PROFILE during diagnosis (for AMD Ryzen 5900X and 5600X-4 maximum, for 5950X and 5800X – 6, and for Zen 2 – 2 temporary maximum). There is no increase in diagnostic time. You will see the result on the PROFILES page.
- CTR will automatically set the frequency for all recommended key points (this also happens during diagnosis). All other nuclei that are not in the group will operate at a lower frequency. Due to this maximum stability and fault tolerance are achieved.
- Since the processor often works with a combined load of 1-6 legs, a high speed of load assessment is required to change profiles as accurately as possible. Depending on the current operating profile, the sensor tempo also changes. PX PROFILE is the most sensitive, the sensor polling period is every 150 ms (for P1 – 250 and for P2 – 200).
- The updated HYBRID OC has a shorter activation time for profile. For processors with 6, 12 or 24 cores, the activation time of P1 or P2 is reduced by 30%.
- Updated priority system. P1 PROFILE has a higher priority than P2. P2 PROFILE has a higher priority than PX. This makes it possible to avoid regular or fake profile links. It also allows you to significantly lower the temperature of the processor.
- PX PROFILE has settings just like the other profiles. This will prevent the false closing of the profile if the load is pulsed on the core.
- If the current TDC value is lower than the TDC trigger (A), PX PROFIL will be deactivated automatically and the AMD Ryzen 5000 processor will go into standard boost mode. That is, in this mode, the maximum power saving is maintained.
- Improved security. While HYBRID OC is running, CTR will monitor the current voltage. If this value exceeds 1,525V, CTR will restart the system automatically without any user confirmation. I believe that some users may ignore the instructions, so I updated the security system rules.
- Capture sensor. There are situations when a sensor stops responding. At this point, the user may see an abnormal temperature, frequency, or voltage value. I implemented a system that analyzes the condition of the sensor.
Another upgrade of the visual interface that gets a more minimalist look. Each button has several functions and there is also a neat Rocket icon that lets you know which CTR profile is currently running on your system. Overall, AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Desktop CPU owners can now hit 5 GHz relatively easily compared to before. The CTR 2.1 version will be available for Patreon subs at first, but will be released to the general public soon!
