Re: [ANN] [CTR] ClockTuner for Ryzen v1.0 Beta 3 - boost ZEN2 processors (AMD)
New version CTR v1.1.0 release
CTR 1.1 got a new engine with some additional rules. Before making a step to a higher frequency, CTR checks the current frequency with reduced voltage relative to the reference one. In most cases, this can prevent BSOD during the frequency step or high Vdroop. It also helps to prevent the system from false pitch to a higher frequency if the CCX is on the edge of instability.
Another important advantage of the new CTR 1.1 engine is the new, secure method of controlling the processor's frequency and voltage. This will protect user systems from sending incorrect commands to registers.
The load level of stress tests has been corrected for all processors and all modes. Now uses a more loyal value of FFT, which can protect the system from BSOD.
Load Line Calibration level requirements have been revised, and thanks to the new CTR rules, you can use LLC in Auto mode (in most cases, you will not need to use LLC Mode 3). This also means that ASRock and Gigabyte motherboards are fully supported.
Note. The "Recommended to improve voltage compensation" warning is information only and does not require the user to intervene in the UEFI (BIOS) immediately.
"Enhance accuracy" is a system of additional frequency step crushing using voltage. Depending on the reference voltage value, the CTR selects the optimal number of extra steps. Yes, the "tuning" process becomes longer, but the results are more accurate.
Note. This setting has a direct impact on your diagnostic time. If this option is enabled, the step time is doubled to 2 minutes.
The diagnostic mode has received several improvements. Step time was increased, and the stress load was corrected using FFT. This significantly reduced the probability of BSOD. The evaluation of the cooling system allows offering the user the optimal mode automatically. It can be an undervolting mode or an overclocking mode with the current PPT level saved. That is, if you use a BOX cooler, you will be automatically offered an undervolt mode, which has a chance to reduce the processor temperature in the load up to 15 degrees (and reduce the noise level).
The system of penalties for creating the final profile was redesigned. Now the penalty will depend on the maximum processor temperature during the diagnostics and the current Vdroop level. This allows the profile to have some additional stability reserve.
