Yuri "1usmus" Bubliy released the latest major version of Clock Tuner for Ryzen (CTR), the definitely utility designed for overclocking and memory tuning of AMD Ryzen processors. The app simplifies the myriad of performance-related settings on the AMD platform, and gives professional overclockers the fine-grained control they want. The latest version 2.00 available for download on TechPowerUp today, adds support for Ryzen 5000 series "Vermeer" desktop processors based on the "Zen 3" microarchitecture, and Ryzen 4000G series "Renoir" desktop APUs. This should particularly come as a boon for memory overclockers looking to pair a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G with a 1-DPC motherboard such as the MSI B550 Unify-X, to chase down AMD memory OC and latency records.

Next up, we see additional diagnostic and tuning modes. The app adds an in-built monitoring utility, so you don't need to run Ryzen Master on the side. The new "Phoenix" feature restores the app's working state following an application crash, reboot, or BSOD. The new Hybrid OC feature lets you combine the accuracy of manual OC, with the efficiency of PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive), so your processor isn't locked at a high clock speed, only to get power/thermal throttled when you need it to run at its manual OC clocks. The app improves the Initial Frequency Smart Offset feature. Profile management has been improved. A host of stability issues and bugs with the application have been fixed.

"The new Hybrid OC feature lets you combine the accuracy of manual OC, with the efficiency of PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive" This is exactly what I was looking for.
 
Perfect timing for this now that I'm on Zen 3.
 
Im more interested on 2.1 which contains curve optimizer in it, i hope it can detect the optimal values for each cores.
 
Will it ever support Ryzen 2000 series?
 
Got a bump in performance with hybrid OC over the previous version on my 3900X .
Can recommend!

Is this intended as a replacement for the DRAM Calculator for Ryzen??

No one is an Dram Calculator and the other is a Cpu tweaker.
 
Be supremely careful. This honestly kinda trash software decided to ram 1.55vcore into my Renoir.

I stepped away to have supper and it degraded my cpu noticably. Because fuck me for trusting it couldn't actually go above a fucking reasonable voltage.

1.55vcore is LN2 territory, not ambient safe in any way shape or size.

Awesome stuff, but honestly considering the quality of Yuri's coding, seems like the only 'good' parts are borrowed(being generous)...

Yup tested my previously 24/7 all core 4.3ghz is no longer stable for more than a few minutes without turning up the voltage. I could run 4.4 at 1.325v set, now 4.2...

At least it silently flashed an excessive voltage warning begging to reboot, you say... Oh upon rebooting it launched and applied the overclock...

How hard is it to trigger a safe mode drop it to 4Ghz and 1.2v... instead of roasting your chip.

Be warned to never leave this garbage alone because it cost me a good chip.

I dont think the functionality exists in these CPU's todo what the 3x00 or 5x00 series can do.

Even if it worked; the 2000 series pretty much top out at 4.1Ghz all core or if your lucky enough 4.2Ghz. You can fiddle around with BCLK to raise the max PBO (boost clock) up to 4.55Ghz as in my case, but thats about it.

2000 series have 2 CCD's with each 4 cores / 8 threads. Not much gain to be had. Invest in strong memory with high speeds and low latency's. There's still some untapped performance for these CPU's.

Renoir support in CTR is new for this version and is frankly hot garbage. It's pretty obvious when I can already do 4.2 stable at about 1.25-1.3V, but I get these recommendations from CTR:

Thought you would have at least gotten the diagnostic results before attempting the Tune button. But anyhow, sucks that this happened to your chip.
 
I just ran this now to see what I got.

I did get the diagnostic results before hitting the Tune button.

Went from Silver rated, 24/7 stable(my own independent testing) 4.3Ghz and 4.4Ghz bench stable at 1.325v...

To well Bronze rated and 4.3Ghz at 1.325v results in crashes.

I could easily bench at 1.300v and 4.3Ghz all core before, not anymore. :(
