Usually, the tuning process takes about 15 minutes. There is no need to worry, CTR knows what to do. After a while, CTR will detect instability on one (or more) CCX and inform the user about it. Then we will start the step-by-step selection of the stable frequency for each CCX. CTR will start the Cinebench R20 automatically, get the results from it, and close it. After a few 'steps' CTR will log a small report and set automatically recommended values for safe overclocking (orange and red ovals).īe patient, the diagnosis may take some time (the number of steps is not a fixed value). This will save the tuning time in the future and will also give us an idea of what kind of sample we have and what it is capable of. Now we need to do a diagnostic of our processor. If the CTR does not see the frequency, Ryzen Master should be reinstalled, and if the kernel tags look incorrect, clear the System log and reboot the system. The windows with frequency should not have '0' and the core tags should not have '100'. The next step is to run CTR.exe and evaluate how well the monitoring works. For example, I use a 3200 MHz DRAM frequency. I also advise you not to use serious overclocking DRAM, because CTR cannot distinguish the problem of voltage shortages on cores from unstable DRAM.

Then we made sure that the Voltage CPU and Multiplier CPU were in the 'Auto' mode. The first step in the UEFI (BIOS) was to set up VRM: In fact, let's begin the smart overclocking on ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero and the new Ryzen 9 3900XT. Fortunately, CTR will not leave the owners of budget systems behind and will provide additional performance with the same power consumption.

Tweet An example of system overclocking and resultsĪs we found out earlier, the results of system tuning with CTR are influenced by the motherboard, 'luck' of the sample processor, and the cooling system used.
