ClockTuner for Ryzen

ClockTuner for Ryzen (CTR) is a specialized software utility designed to optimize the performance and overclocking capabilities of AMD Ryzen processors. CTR focuses on expanding the potential of Ryzen processors based on Zen 2 and Zen 3 through careful tuning of voltage and frequency parameters .

CTRtakes a holistic approach, examining the unique characteristics of each processor, including silicon quality and voltage-frequency curves. By evaluating these factors, it determines the most favorable settings that will improve performance levels.

Requirements for ClockTuner

ClockTuner for Ryzen (CTR) is a software tool used to overclock AMD Ryzen processors. Below are the basic requirements for using CTR:
  1. Operating System: CTR requires Windows 10 or later.
  2. Processor: CTR is specifically designed for AMD Ryzen processors and is not compatible with other processor types.
  3. System Memory: CTR requires at least 4 GB of system memory.
  4. Video Card: CTR does not have any specific graphics card requirements, but for best performance, a dedicated graphics card is recommended.
  5. Storage: CTR requires at least 100 MB of free space.
  6. .NET Framework: CTR requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later on the system.

Update history:

2.1 Beta 5
  • Pixel profiles for all processors. Unlock maximum performance in low-power apps and games.
  • Fast and accurate creation of P1, P2 and PX profiles during diagnostics (only for Zen 3 and Renoir). The whole process takes about 7 minutes.
  • Redesigned OS CTR HYBRID. Smooth and safe profile switching. The profile switching speed reaches 62 times per second (4 times more than in previous versions).
  • Preload profiles. Increases the response rate of CTR to changes during loading.
  • Efficient frequency regulation for the CTR HYBRID OC allows your processor to efficiently handle ultra-high workloads (base frequency 1.1 Volts).
  • Automatic recommendation of the minimum possible voltage for each profile. Provides maximum energy efficiency without compromising performance. In most cases it is able to outperform PBO.
  • Improved wait state.
  • Reading CPPC information via the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).
  • The security of communication between CTR and the system management unit (SMU) has been improved.
  • CTR INCREASE TESTER – regardless of whether you use CTR or Curve Optimizer (CO), you can compare the results of each core accelerator with additional information (temperature, PPT, etc.).
  • CLEAR CONFIGURATION and CLOSE” – a button that allows you to reset all CTR settings to default values.
  • Real-time profile switching statistics (PROFILES tab).
  • Automatic recovery after entering standby mode. Both for the hybrid operating system and for manual profiles.
  • CALCULATE button for PX, P2 and P1. If you need to recalculate the profile, you do not need to restart the entire diagnostic process (Zen 3 and Renoir).
  • The Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) tool for the configuration process.
  • Improved protection against dangerous and unintentional user settings.
  • Automatic recovery of configuration files after a failure.
  • The Phoenix mode has been improved (fixed “PLATINUM“, etc.).
  • Independent profile system. If one profile breaks, the other profiles will be safe.
  • Improved support for the unique dual CCD 5600X and 5800X processors.
  • Fully supports version AGESA 1.2.0.1 and later.
  • TO TRAY – a separate button. The user can choose how to minimize CTR.
  • Improved logging for all modes and functions.
  • Rebalanced processor quality categories (gold, silver and so on).
  • CTR automatically adjusts the “Wait Time“. No longer available to the user.
  • Increased launch speed of CTR (up to 4 times).
  • CTR has driver priority. Allows it to work more efficiently when the system is under maximum load.
  • Reduced CPU load CTR.
  • Fixed a bug caused by pressing Alt-Tab while CTR is displayed in the system tray.
  • Easier way to activate profiles (no saving required).
  • Numerous minor bugs have been fixed.

2.0 Beta 5

  • Lower reference frequency values for Zen3 (added security when pressing the tuning button)
  • The number of attempts to contact SMU has been increased from 5 to 10
  • Test mode – AVX Light only (fixed bug where this switch could be unlocked)

2.0 Beta 4

RC4 is recommended.The CTR protection system now controls not only its own processes, but also all processes occurring in Windows. If you deliberately try to damage the processor, you will fail.
  • Updated driver. Fully compatible with all anti-cheat programs. Fully compatible with Ryzen Master
  • Response speed when switching profiles has increased 5 times. The time of one cycle is now 50 ms
  • Redesign of the hybrid operating system. Increased stability and smooth profile switching
  • Automatic acceptance of the Cinebench R20 license (fewer user actions before starting to work with CTR).
  • Improved security between CTR and the processor.
  • Improved protection against dangerous user actions (from forced attempts to interfere with CTR processes).
  • Improved support for unique dual-CCD processors (5600X, 5800X, 3600, 3600X).
  • Updated profile management. Multifunction buttons, simplified interface (PROFILES tab).
  • CPU category (gold, silver, etc.) is now protected from “LLC scammers“.
  • Redesigned LLC tips.
  • Added hints for incorrect data entry for profiles.
  • Profile status. In the PROFILES and tuner tab you can see which profile is currently active.
  • Fixed visual bug with high resolution or high TEMPERATURE.
  • Fixed occasional crash when using a hybrid operating system.
  • Other minor bugs fixed.

2.0 Beta 3

  • Supports Ryzen 5000 series (X) processors
  • Support for Ryzen Renoir (AM4)
