The release of the first alpha version is just days away (I think it's July 29th.). I don't plan to postpone anything, I manage to keep development as planned.
As I promised earlier, today I want to show you the second part of the diagnostics - CCD. The diagnostics in CTR was not perfect because it only evaluated the processor by the worst CCD. HYDRA evaluates each ...

At the moment HYDRA already contains 3 presets of voltages.
I want to add an automatic best volt search function that will take into account your cooling system. What controls would you like to see for this feature? A temperature threshold setting? Maybe something else ? Or do you have any other ideas?

Finally, I want to share with you some information about the new project. Summer is a time of rest, but not for me. I want to reassure you that the development of the new project is progressing as planned. The current concept is not final, but it is close to what I want to provide for you.
This project is not a rebranding. I take a new approach to core testing and frequency management. ...
This may come as a surprise to some of you. I am preparing a global rebranding of CTR with a new, more user-friendly interface and new features. This is a completely new platform. The code name of the project is HYDRA. One head is good, but several heads are better. This is a direct hint at the possibilities. For now, the project already has a new graphical shell and active mon...

I continue to develop a game profile. I believe that each profile should have its own purpose. This will allow higher optimization for each type of task. I am also attaching a small presentation on manual debugging of profiles to the post.

I suggest checking out the new mode for gamers. There is no profile switching, but there is a dynamic frequency change. The profile is turned on automatically if the video core load is more than 75%. In this mode there is a frequency hold, i.e. the processor will fight with lags and frequecy droop. The voltage profile is lower by 100mV than AMD, it allows to make the system cooler and als...

CTR requirements:
I was able to improve the stability of the application. The frequency fluctuations have also been reduced. I also added basic support for AIDA64. The update will be available here and through the automatic update system.
Why is there a difficulty? There are 3 types of load: ultra light, medium and AVX. Each dynamic profile has a number of rules for handling different types of load. There ...
2021-05-27 06:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again, I received emails about CTR not predicting what the user was thinking. I want to make an important note.
CTR is not a program that predicts the future. CTR does not know what you want until you make a change to CTR. CTR is a sandbox, in which you can create any configuration of any needs. The basic CTR settings are designed for bas...

Thank you all for your patience and help. Thanks to your results, I have been able to calibrate RC5. Today I have started the final testing of build 14 and you will be able to download it soon. I think it will be this Friday.

2021-04-20 15:12:34 +0000 UTC View PostGuys, I want to be honest with you, my testing team and I did not have time to finish testing. Scope of changes is so large that we will need a few more days to approve the build for release. BUT. If there are those of you who want to participate in this testing - I will provide a build. Message me on Discord ;)

RC5 development is nearing completion. This is a very massive update with a huge number of changes and I am happy to present it to you soon. Each of you will be able to get the most out of your samples, but don't forget that the results are affected by the cooling system and motherboard.

This video compares Dynamic PX with the stock BOOST performance.
HWINFO logging allows to show the dynamics of frequency change, from 4850MHz (base for PX MID) to 5000MHz (peak) on 4 threads.
Why can't CO do that? CO always works at standard voltage, it affects the telemetry values of the processor (cheats), due to which it achieves an increase in frequency. That is, you can get...
