Prime95 30.6 build 4. Fixing Prime errors.

Updated more accurate OB diagnostics, you don't have to adjust anything. The OB values will be set for each profile + saved automatically.

• During the OB diagnostics information about CO (Curve Optimizer) coefficients is presented to the user. If for some reason you can not use CTR HYBRID OC - you have an alternative. Simply enter these CO coefficients in the BIOS. I know that there are some scripts that help find the CO. My solution is simpler, faster and more accurate. Why? I get an answer from SMU, i.e. the processor tells me which base curve it has and what it likes and what it doesn't like. For testing I also use AVX multi-core load. This allows me to get optimal results not only for each core individually, but also the result of interaction of all cores simultaneously. There are no alternatives to this function.

Automatic update for CTR. Every time, when you start CTR, a secure TSL connection will be made to the github server where updates are stored. If an update is found, you will be notified. The process is fully automatic. After confirmation, the files are updated and the CTR is started.
About the github server. It is protected from hacker attacks and also has anti-virus software. Your system will always be safe.

Load type detection system. This system allows real-time dynamic profiles to change their settings for maximum stability and performance. Now you can find out which application uses FMA3 and which uses AVX1 (for example).

The response speed of dynamic profiles has doubled. That is, the frequency change speed is 8ms instead of the usual 16ms. This allows you to increase or decrease the frequency faster in relation to load and conditions.

Windows notification. If the CTR is minimized or minimized to the tray you will not miss important messages. In the bottom right corner you will receive different kinds of notifications. In most cases this information is not critical, but it is worth writing to Discord about it. At the moment there are compatibility problems with the following programs: AIDA 64 (blocks global PCI mutex), Aquaero(does not allow for the use of global PCI mutex), Corsair iCUE (does not allow for the use of global PCI mutex) and AMD Ryzen Master (does not use a secure connection to the SMU).

EXTRA BOOST - superstructure for OB, which allows dynamic profiles to run at higher frequencies in SSE - AVX1 loads. On average this is an extra 25-50 MHz without increasing the voltages.

Full adaptation to CPU LLC (Load Line Calibration) Auto. More stability and more performance if you use CPU LLC Auto. This is my new recommendation for RC6.

• This build also contains a huge number of stability fixes and improvements.

I want to share the good news with you. There is a new project in development (no it is not CTR PRO). Its purpose is to automatically optimize Zen 3 and Zen 3+ processors. It will include all the most important and unique things that has CTR as well as get new features. This is a work on bugs and new more usable interface. CTR is a successful product and I do not want to stop there. I think that the community deserves to get more. Thanks to you I got a chance to develop CTR and I really hope that you will stay with me. I know that $15 is a significant amount of money for some users, so I have added a new early access plan for $10.

Roughly the alpha version you will be able to see in the last days of June. CTR support is not finished and I plan to release a few updates (video too).

Thank you for your support :)

On the last day (today), Riwwelorsch found a bug that made PX unstable. I've been looking for it for months and finally a fix is included in this update.

Brilliant. Now, I’m just waiting for your message to sort out the 3800/1900 memory 😂

So lets see.. :)

"Full adaptation to CPU LLC (Load Line Calibration) Auto. More stability and more performance if you use CPU LLC Auto. This is my new recommendation for RC6." On Asus x570 Crosshair VIII the LLC range goes from 1 to 5. 1 being the weakest while 5 is the strongest. LLC Auto is even weaker than LLC1... Iam getting above 8% vdroop and crashes. When you say u want us to use "LLC Auto" you want us to use something which give like 2-3% vdroop under maximum load correct ? (i use a 5950x not that it should matter)

Huh? what did i missed? i run gskill 3800mhz with 1900blck

Anonymous

Same on MSI X 570. Have been using 3rd strongest llc level with prev versions with good success, same llc when using fixed clock withou ctr. For pbo without ctr, i was using 2nd or 3rd weakest before which worked well. Auto is even lower and didnt give great pbo results. Llc auto with rc6 is unstable.

First version Ive used where it has crashed running userbenchmark. (Im no PC expert but I have installed CTR many times in the exact same way but for me this version has been unstable.) No biggie for me, just sharing my experience so far. Big thanks again as always for your work.

Hi. Just installed and now I get randomly an error saying "A foreign program is trying to block CTR!" Can you tell me what that means?

Anonymous

Me same.For now I'm turning off only CTR notification with the function of windows cuz you know it's annoying.

James Tiller

I'm going to try my 2 hopefully tonight, if not then in the morning over coffee. One ASRock x570, One Dark Hero. 5800X and a 5950X. Will have a 3rd system fairly soon as well to test with. I am one that enjoys the testing and happy to be a part of this one then on to the next project when and if there is a next. Keep up the good work Yuri.

I think CTR is great, thanks for all you do. I am now getting the most out of my MSI X570GL and 5950X I've moved past the diagnostics OC and have started setting up my own profile settings, i have a 2nd monitor that I can see what profiles are being trigger for each bench mark, I've adjusted voltages, and mghz to get the temps I wanted. Its a balancing act with the 5950X heat/power. Profile 1 I'm able to run prime95 short fttp's @ 4.5ghz 1.150v 0-OB 100% load no errors 75c, it came to a point that increasing the voltage didnt help with OC, only making more heat and errors. Profile 2 is mostley games/3d benchmarks/FireStrike, i've got that running 4.8ghz 1.335v 0-OB temps run about 50c PX profile runs 4.925 1.375v 50 OB here is my latest FireStrike 42,000 A new PB. https://www.3dmark.com/fs/25607921

I'm getting way worse Px stability in this build compared to RC5v22 Even setting OB to 0mV to disable boost and trying to run single core CineR20 at 4.9ghz on my 5800x I get black screen crashing. Setting 4.8 with +100 boost seems to be running OK after some further poking, but I can't get anything past 4.9 reliably. My previous best was 4975 under RC5. Even tried setting mem overclock back to 3600 XMP with 1800 on IF but still super unstable past 4.9 in this version of CTR

Anonymous

yes , good job !

Anonymous

My results: CPU is platinum sample , PX boost finally 4900, but OB testing for ascertaining OC values is, at least for me, useless, as the PC ultimately gives up and reboots without any meaningful result.

Anonymous

same here, the stability of the system seems to be weak

Anonymous

Great Job 👍 Works fine for me. Just stable 👍

pannal

Hey, with this build I'm getting an enormous amount of "CTR WARNING; A foreign program is trying to block CTR!", which wasn't the case with the previous build, as well as a lot of those warnings in the log: PCI-MUTEX holding time has expired! Sending a command in an insecure way! Everything's stable otherwise. Apps running that might interfere: HWiNFO64, Argus Monitor.

1usmus

All previous versions loaded cores that should not be used for PX. I'm very surprised that fixing the global bug caused you a problem. Are you sure you have CPPCs enabled?

Thank you very much, for all this work and for the reduced price for people with more modest incomes especially with the covid.

fyi - ran the diagnostic and kept all settings as suggested by CTR (but have llc at RC5 level 3) and have had 4 reboots - one opening and explorer window in desktop and 3 in Doom Eternal - have gone back to RC5.22 to rerun

Anonymous

Several deleted posts. Just set BIOS to default settings and am getting better results than with CTR. Time to pull the plug on this waste of money. ...spent more than I pay for yearly subscription for software that mostly works ...

Why not tuning CRT manually? You can set higher voltages if u want... If you set 1.4V in BIOS set it in CRT too. I dont know what is your problem. You can do whatever you want. And this CRT software is awesome. In a 1/2 hour you can beat 5000mhz on ryzen 5 5600x. That is impossible with manual tuning in bios

Anonymous

Yes, I had never ever a crash of my system the last 6 months. Since I updated yesterday CTR, I had 6 reboots and lost some work I did...

Anonymous

Latest version does not allow. Tune button is greyed out and will not respond...part of my post that was deleted. My 5800 runs best at 1.325 volt and 4775. CTR on last run suggested 1.35 and 4600, an obvious regression. All other versions allow tune after diagnostic...does not work on this version. On all previous version I am able to obtain 6000 to 6200 on Cinbench20...on this version more like 5700, which is lower than default setting....but I guess he is no longer interested in fixing bugs...just wants to hear self confirming posts.

Anonymous

You can tune under profiles. :) first run diagnostic. Then under p1 profile input 1325mv and frequency 4775. Then od the right side click calculate p1 profile. Then save and activate all profiles. It is all already written in manuals in pdf. I think that you are reading wrong values. 1.35 with 4600mhz is maybe p2 profile. And becouse of that you get bad scores in cinebench. For all cores you need to set p1 profile to your reference voltages and clocks.

Anonymous

that is absurd...it just gives the same value as the diagnostic. ...if I know from experience that 1.325 will run at above 4700, and all "tuning" in profiles respond with 4600...How is that "tuning", it is actually untuning...giving me results that I already know are in error is not what I expect from a tuning program.

Anonymous

check temperature, set higher max PPT, EDC, TDC. Maybe you are hitting limits. And maybe it is just not stable :) You can just input your numbers in p1 profile and save them without "tuning"

Anonymous

But in this version if you input 4700mhz in p1 profile you actualy get much higher clock becouse of boost.... There was no OB and extra boost in previous versions... and PX profile is awesome. You cant do this in bios :)

Anonymous

Hey, never had this issue. But this version keeps crashing. This is after I run diagnostic. Save and activate program. I try to do anything and immediate restart. Edit looks like pci mutex error. Maybe icue. Any alternative to deleting icue?

Tom DePaolo

I don't know about anyone else but I am getting better results from the diagnostics with the new version. Testing with CCX2 25mhz higher than CCX1 to start out gives me a much closer result to the max stable settings I find manually. Also I'm seeing an extra 100pt cb20 score at 1175mv. Im not sure if the new version has less overhead or going from 2x8GB Gskill 4000cl15 @3733 to 2x16GB teampgroup 3600cl18 is why.

Anonymous

Make a screenshot of your ram settings and try a bios reset. Just use your old ram settings afterwards (if these are stable - important!).

Tom DePaolo

Ok, so during a testing run at 1325mv the system rebooted. Now Tuning is no longer available. I run diagnostic and it goes through all the motions and finally gives the cpu rating but the tune tab still is unavailable.

1usmus

Tom, сhanging the memory configuration can have a huge impact on the stability and performance of your CTR HYBRID OC. Unfortunately, after changing memory timings or changing frequencies you need a new diagnostics.

1usmus

Tuning is only relevant to Zen 2. No tuning is provided for Zen 3, it is not required. The diagnostic process creates profiles and creates an OB, which will back up the frequency offset. If you have CCX2 better than CCX1 - CTR will make CCX2 have a higher frequency.

I tryed diagnostics with the newest Version (RC6 v8) Today. The Diagnostics is Running till the end without any Problems, but it doesnt foll the PX Profile. High, Mid and Low mhz are still 0 after the Diagnostics. Has anyone had the same problem? System: Gigabyte 570X Aorus Ultra Ryzen 7 5800X (Golden Sample)

The only response you will get here is that it is all in your imagination...que video of Steve Jobs holding i-phone with two finger at precarious points to avoid obvious defect..."you just aren't holding the phone right".

Hello there, want to give a shoutout to Yuri. Thank you for the great work , time and effort you give. I haven't been able to do any updates since RC5 V.15 , but flawlessly got the RC6 running and it's running very well!

James Tiller

Something up with mine this time. Deleting old, clearing config, then hitting diagnostics and CTR says CB is started but it never opens and CTR just sits there indefinitely. Going to check if there is something outside of CTR but RC5 worked. tbc...

Anonymous

Autoload profile with OS is fixed on this version, also Diagnostic runs until the end fine now but... this version is super unstable, both default PX profiles are black screen crashing (AVX and MIX) with extra boost enabled and disabled, P1 and P2 diagnostic calculation is much lower than RC5 (my P2 went from 4400 calculation down to 4100 and P1 from 4100 to 3900...) I will return back to RC5 even if it still have the autoload with OS not working but at least is stable.

before and after results screen doesnt show for me in the last couple versions. i tried updating everything. anyone know?

Anonymous

just chiming in to say thanks for your hard work, this version allowed me to get another 50mhz for my 5600x on PX high while gaming. sadly, it's not all good news. i get random restarts after 5-10 min of office work (microsoft word, browser and adobe reader open, nothing else). not even soft restarts from windows, but straight up blackscreens into rebooting. it happens with every configuration if I have PX enabled, even if I turn down all mhz values by 50 and set OB to 0. during gaming it's perfectly stable for hours. temps are absolutely fine, my ram runs at 3600/1800 and passed 12h without errors in karhu, so it can't be that. idk if it has something to do with how often CTR switches between idle and PX state and I know some people had idle restarts before, but it's never been as bad as it is now for me personally. for now i always disable PX while working and enable it for gaming, but that's not a long-term-solution in my opinion. again, i really appreciate the amount of work you are putting into this, just wanted to let you know about my experience with the latest version.

Why did you delete my post Yuri?

Shinigami_de

Does anyone know if the debug output is triggered in the same way in RC6 as in RC5 v21 when overshooting PPT? I'm currently trying to make sense, why I'm getting a PPT of ~220W for a brief moment triggering the debug output when running CB20 in a loop on my 5950x. It's always at the start of a render, when CTR is switching from PX High/Mid to P1 and it seems it briefly runs all cores with the PX Voltages (1.375 / 1.35). Never seen this output or power draw with exactly the same profile in RC5 v21 where everything is rock stable. Could also be related to the sporadic/random reboots I'm getting with RC6. Anyways, I'll fiddle around a bit more. Still very good results with CTR and thanks for all the work Yuri :)

mine keeps crashing when i try to play games now =/ didnt on the last version. i was super stoked about all the updates too!

I am encountering so many reboots even after using the default CTR settings. I have 5950x (April-2021 batch group) and Asus Dark Hero (latest bios). I am using one of the top CPU cooling solutions (Noctua NH-D15). I don't have any heating issue. I watched the tutorial videos multiple times and followed each and every direction about BIOS settings and CTR settings. I am not using any hardware sensor monitoring software. I have a clean installed Windows 10 (incl. latest updates). I really liked the idea behind CTR but it doesn't work properly for me. :(
