So today its launch day for CTR from 1usmus, you can find it here: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/clocktuner-for-ryzen-download.html though I'm sure many other sites are hosting it too, or will be shortly.
Based on his Twitter: https://twitter.com/1usmus, looks like there's a hotfix coming soon as well, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling
First run though with all the default settings in CTR, all default settings in BIOS beside enabling XMP profile for my RAM:
Pretty substantial changes there, technically higher clocks and less power (and heat). However, 4225MHz seemed a bit low for my CCX1 which is the "best".
I proceeded to change the CPU LLC to "Turbo" and PWM to "eXtreme" as that's generally what people recommend on my Gigabyte X570 AORUS Xtreme. Then in CTR, I changed the CCX Delta to 250 (max). That resulted in clocks that look a lot closer to what I can manually set:
Still a little bit of power saving, but mostly performance focused here. What I find interesting though is with the LLC/PWM settings in the BIOS, it actually lowers "stock" performance a fair bit just because the voltage is more stable? I guess it can't boost as much?
However, all this being said, since I upgraded to AGESA 1.0.8.1, my system hasn't exactly been stable. Running these settings seems to only make that more apparent. I'm starting to wonder if it's my PSU though, as I've been near the PC twice now when the "reboots" happen, and it's actually a full power "blip" like the cable was pulled but then it turns back on by itself. It only happens at idle though, never while under load/gaming/etc.
Curious to see what other people's results are though!
