THIS WILL NOT HELP with gaming/normal use. since this is a "fixed" oc, running PBO (enabled, not just auto) will be better (especially for non MT clocks), and my CB20 result was actually tick higher (bit more power use tho). about cpu quali: i forgot that pbo was running, so switching pbo off, my 3700 went from platinum to bronze, so its not that reliable (for now at least). LLC setting: start with recommended setting, switch one down/up if needed. i got "lower LLC" warning on the beta v2, and switching from turbo to high (Aorus x570 Ultra) fixed it, and i didn't have more than 1% drop, nor did it affect my boost clocks. anyone having problems with the prog: -make sure you run the latest (non beta/stable) bios for your board/cpu (with needed settings) -make sure your ram is stable (3rd pass on memtest (v8.4) showed it wasn't anymore, i needed +0.01v more after update) -make sure net 4.6 is installed -make sure your running the latest chipset driver -make sure that you still have the zipped CTR folder (dl again if needed) -uninstall ryzen master, delete existing CTR folder, delete windows logs and registry (use ccleaner if you don't know how) -SHUTDOWN pc after boot: (use the amd balanced plan if possible) -install ryzen master, start it once and shut it down again -unzip CTR folder, copy CB files and run it once to accept conditions -start CTR and do "diagnostics", after its finished, do "start"..

When the 'diagnostic' part finishes and it gives you the above in the log it automatically puts the two 'Recomended values for Overclocking' into the relevant boxes in the settings section. If you want to test the undervolt then you need to manually put the two 'Recomended values for Undervoolt' into the boxes instead and then hit 'Start' for it to test those settings.

So, NO THANK YOU. Back to PBO. Same here, seems it's working poorly with 3700X.
ah ! a PBO user ! can you please tell me if you experience the same thing I do here Wavetrex or if it's a threadripper specialty ? skip to 3min30 to see the "miracle" happen lol edit: sorry about your dud...I have a 9900k that's like this, a boxed version and all,it barely reaches the 4.7ghz it's supposed to and if i try 5.0ghz all cores it'll go to 240watts and 100°C on a custom loop :/ [youtube=9cIUBlQTN7Y] long story short with ryzen master as my only comment says, used to test PBO, I've got this parallel universe thing where I've got higher scores than all stock settings, but with much lower temperatures and clocks o_O except idle is garbage, in this case idle has higher temps than a cinebench run wth now it's not only that ryzen master is reporting wrong clocks (seems to often do) because aida64 and my HX1200i corsair "smart" psu wattage report the same thing lower clocks lower watts lower temps so it is happening take the comment below as a rant or possible reality in our computer world : all I can think of if some kind of "vw scandal" style shenanigans where cpus recognize benchmarks and behave differently when they run, something I have never heard any "pro-tuber/reviewer" talk about but which is clearly something that will exist if not for all for some benchmarks I tuned cars for a few years before the vw emission scandal exploded I already knew car ECUs were heavily tweaked for emission control with weird values that shouldn't be there either it's that or threadripper design or AMD have a potential they don't use properly car owners might have heard of euroncap the safety test which is also untrustworthy as Mercedes years ago introduced a safety belt deployement feature which gave the car 5/5 euroncap at euroncap speed 55kph I believe but which would kill you from internal bleeding at 80kph because it would crush your internal organs, same thing...and the nurburgring lap records used as marketing to sell sportscar always "tweaked" too with non-production engines, suspensions settings etc...it's widely known in the car world that "benchmarks" are cheated why wouldn't they be in the computer world ? just something to keep in mind and why I only trust my own gameplay experience in the games I have hundreds hours on

Hello, my lovely community. Sorry it took me a long time not to visit this topic. I will provide an update tonight. https://lol.tf/Cm0tVnh.png To my regret, a bug that says about problems with core tagging (CPPC) was made by the motherboard manufacturer. Therefore a special version (CTR) will be provided which will ignore this problem. It will negatively affect the speed of tuning (3900 3900x 3900xt 3950x 3960x 3970x), but should not affect the final result. Also check the settings in your BIOS.

I think the sample rating is just the power not what it can actually achieve with a manual overclock I ran it multiple times and get different results each time ..

Well, your is a wise advice, thank you but it didn’t answer my question 😕 Is it possible to update the utility to beta 2 without losing the already (successfully) applied overclock/undervolt achieved with beta 1 ? Thank you 😉

Dear all, Got better results with a little tweaking today, also better energy efficiency. 🙂 The hotfix version works fine as well. Thanks again for providing this useful app.

NuttyProcessor:

I have serious (Dangerous) issues running CTR. - LLC control on Turbo (Both CPU voltage as SOC voltage)
I'd be careful adjusting the LLC on the SoC. The peak voltage might spike too high, depending on the motherboard and how LLC is setup, it might be detrimental. What I'd suggest is, download HwInfo, run Cinebench on your own, and watch the voltages. If the max SoC goes above 1.1v, consider bumping the SoC LLC down a notch and repeat until your max voltage is around 1.1.

Do you have a good cooling system ? CTR stopped the testing process because you exceeded the limits specified in "Max PPT" and "Max EDC". If you want to try again, change these values upwards. For example Max PPT 250 , Max TDC 170.

Hey guys! I have a problem. I follow all the steps of the turner clock successfully, setting the overclock to 4200 and consumption at 1.25. However, when I render with vray, the program closes or the computer restarts. What can it be? Thank you
I think this is because Vray generates a much higher load than AVX Light (CTR). Use the "Edit profile" to raise the voltage by 25 mV, I think it will help.

Clearly my sample is crap, but I'm not sure if part of the bad diagnosis is around some issue with how I have things configured? This was on LLC 2, so maybe it's a power issue? I tried on LLC 3, but it gave me a warning to use a "softer" LLC, which I assume means an LLC setting with a lower voltage curve.

Id say that ref voltage is way too much to be honest. I only went up to 1.250 from the default 1.225. At 1.325 you'd be hitting other limits anyway and create not only a unstable oc but degradation of the chip with the voltage being constant At 1.250 the only limit i had to increase was EDC at 140 not sure why its only set to 115 as that does seem low for a 3950x This is my setup anyway and it works well aside from the weird 4050 issue i was having with beta1 which seems to have stuck on with CCXs I dont have so it doesnt do anything and is a mere glitch at this point. https://i.imgur.com/2TGPN6S.png
