HYDRA 1.1G PRO - RELEASED (Patreon)

This version has some pretty radical changes. I completely removed the old diagnostics and created it from scratch. The main goal was to make it easy to use and to combine all kinds of diagnostics into one, so you can use both HYBRID OC and AMD PBO2 at the same time. And I took care of all those cases when you don't know what you need to do in BIOS to prepare the system for diagnostics. No requirements, HYDRA automatically configures all the startup settings. The disaster recovery system called "Phoenix" was also created from 0.
You can also see the search function for the ideal voltages. The desired maximum temperature and power consumption are the only parameters you have to provide.
I would like to note that the structure of diagnostics is modular. You are free to choose only what you think needs to be done.
Control of internal BCLK from Windows was added (thanks to sbski#6362 and Shamino). Thanks to it user has a chance to get a little more frequency for auto-boost.
Dynamic PBO2 is a brand new feature that allows you to change the AMD CO in real time depending on the load (conditions). As I noticed there is a small margin of safety for multithreaded loads. User can specify offset how much to increase CO in multithreaded load relative to static CO values. Note: you cannot use Dynamic PBO2 and HYBRID OC at the same time.
Information about BCLK frequency and percentage core load (according to Windows) for each CCD has been added to the tab. By hovering the mouse pointer over the item of interest you can get help information.
Once again I paid attention to HYBRID OC and in particular to low-threaded performance. Due to imperfection of thread scheduler Ryzen processor family suffers from record amount of context switching (load jumps between cores). Every switch is a loss of performance. Unfortunately HYDRA is not able to approach hardware frequency sampling rate and cores (1ms vs 6ms), that is why I introduce the concept of "waiting cores". For example profile 1T-2T used to be allowed to use only 2 cores. Now to those cores added 2 waiting cores which are not sleeping and have the same frequency as 2 working cores (idling). These 2 additional cores are waiting for Windows to decide to move the task to other cores. This allows for no loss of performance during profile holding or switching.
The concept of soft profile switching has received a number of improvements to avoid excessive frequency loss during profile switching.
COMPARE tab has received a number of enhancements. You can see the percentage difference between the default and tuned state. The normalization of the scales has been changed for better visual comfort.
I'm stuck in testing today, so a full list of changes + a small guide will be added tomorrow (no download restrictions).

Once again, thank you so much for your support during these difficult times. I wish you and your families would never have to experience what is happening in my country right now.
