There are a lot of settings in BIOS unavailable to user and much is left to inner algorithms mostly based on core temperatures which don't have visible sensors available to BIOS. In addition, windows and other OSs are not able to use individual cores efficiently as not all cores could be same and identical. If this SW can remedy some of those concerns, adjust individual parameters beyond BIOS and OS, it will be successful. I view of 1usmus's track record I believe it will do some good. Will see tomorrow when it's released to general public.https://hothardware.com/news/clocktuner-optimization-app-amd-ryzen-zen-2-cpus

I found out that my 3700x has CCX0 that is 25MHz less capable than CCX1 according to this program. After turning off PBO and all other turbo settings in BIOS, program set it to max 4.2GHz all cores @ 1.275v hitting max 54c at CB R20 but maintained CB score within 1-2% less than with PBO on.Well, Ive only just started playing around with it but have managed to get an all core speed of 4300mhz at 1.25v at 53 degrees Celsius.
It's probably good for a 'lazy' overclocker, especially since the author seemed to be interested in keeping the ending vcore in a relatively safe range. That means the overclocks are limited.https://hothardware.com/news/clocktuner-optimization-app-amd-ryzen-zen-2-cpus

In Cortana Search type 'Event Viewer'. Open the Event Viewer applet.The issue Ive had, is where he says the ''CPPC tags'' are next to the core frequencies, they only read 100. He says on page 6 on the user manual, ''and the core tags should not have "100," and then that to fix this,I should '' and if the kernel tags look incorrect, clear the System log and reboot the system.'' Which I have no idea how to do?
Big thanks @drea.drechsler ,it has worked!In Cortana Search type 'Event Viewer'. Open the Event Viewer applet.
Expand the ">Windows Logs" item and right click on the System log. Select 'clear log'.
You might click on it first and peruse the events it has recorded. Some may seem scary, but don't worry. Windows is constantly throwing errors and recovering from them. All it does is illustrate just how much of a "house of cards" Windows really can be.
I've not used it...i really only watched Linus' video where he reviewed it! It's a good watch, as most any of Linus's vids are. He always makes it entertaining!Just to pick your brain even further @drea.drechsler , exactly what do they mean? I read it has something to do with how good those individual cores are, is it the higher the number the better? (mine range from 116-130)
What is this overclocking software you speak of? The software this thread pertains to is an optimizing software and not overclocking.It's probably good for a 'lazy' overclocker, especially since the author seemed to be interested in keeping the ending vcore in a relatively safe range.

It's strength is it works using by-CCX/CCD overclocks. So the real benefit looks to be for ThreadRipper owners, and to a lesser extent 3900 and 3950, as it makes it easy to balance thermal load on multiple CCD's and CCX's. A TR has so many cores and CCD's available yet you don't really need to overclock all of them. So only getting the best CCD's involved will give good performance for most workloads. The problem always was finding that balance: this makes it much easier, although it's time consuming.

I disagree. The creator calls it an "optimizing" software. One should not say it's not an effective overclocking software if that's not what designed for.I am speaking of 1Usmus's ClockTuner software, whether it's an 'optimizing' or 'overclocking' software is probably a semantics question not worth going into.

I've always felt 'overclocking' and 'optimizing' are synonymous undertakings, so to me it's pure semantics. But curiously, I don't know if you do but Ryzenmaster is considered an 'overclocking software'. 1Usmus calls it an 'optimizing' software, but it's diddling with clock and voltage settings using Ryzenmaster.I shouldn't have had the word "effective" in there.
Very true. I guess it would come down to opinion.I've always felt 'overclocking' and 'optimizing' are synonymous undertakings, so to me it's pure semantics.

Ryzen Master is good monitoring SW, you don't have to make any changes to or thru it.Very true. I guess it would come down to opinion.
I don't like Ryzen Master so that's why I'm hesitant on trying out this software.
It is good monitoring software...but it doesn't run with CPU virtualization enabled. Sad, but doubtless necessary.Ryzen Master is good monitoring SW, you don't have to make any changes to or thru it.
Does it need to start with Windows every time the PC starts?Ryzen Master is good monitoring SW, you don't have to make any changes to or thru it.
No...but if I want to be able to run Bluestacks emulator and pop in and out of Ryzenmaster just to see what it tells me I have to reboot to enable SVM. Makes it a bit clumsy to use, especially since HWinfo64 tells me everything it does. It just won't on-the-fly adjust core clocks as does RM.Does it need to start with Windows every time the PC starts?
Could be something peculiar with you BIOS or MB, RM works fine with SVM enabled in my case. I'm using VmWare workstation practically all the time.It is good monitoring software...but it doesn't run with CPU virtualization enabled. Sad, but doubtless necessary.
Yah...I found it was the version of RM i had. I got the updated pkg. from the link on Guru3d (where I got 1Usmus' 'optimizer') and it works with SVM enabled now!Could be something peculiar with you BIOS or MB, RM works fine with SVM enabled in my case.

Anyway, I'm giving up on CTR for now, It's not doing much more than I can set myself thru BIOS and 1usmus Power Plan, actually 2 of those plans but set differently. one with Min/max CPU settings at 5/100% and one at 5/50% where second one limits CPU to 2200MHz I use when no particular performance is required.
