This release was called “Special Edition” because it received a record number of hours of development and debugging this year.
In addition to the special optimization for Ryzen 7 9800X3D, updated GPU diagnostics and improved "HYBRID OC", I am introducing a revolutionary step in testing the L1-L2-L3-DRAM memory subsystem called "MemBench". For those who haven't heard of it or don't know much about it, it is a test suite to evaluate real DRAM performance, not theoretical with ideal co...

This month I've been working on different areas such as "HYBRID OC" for X3D processors, improved "T-CONTROL" for gaming, and support for the new Ryzen G8000 processors.
In particular Curve Optiomizer for iGPUs that can be controlled from Windows. For other processors I will try to introduce this feature in the next update.

The first important feature of this update.
The imperfection of thread dispatching in Windows OS makes even successful processors collapse. Example 6-core APU AMD Ryzen 5 8600G. For load generation I chose CB23 in 6 threads mode and this is what I got. If threads are managed by Windows I got the result 8361, if threads are managed by HYDRA <...

For a better understanding of the possibilities, let's take a look at the example shown in the picture, in which modes each of the profiles works.
The first line is "LT" profile, which is responsible for processor management in tasks with low-thread load (up to 6 or 8 depending on the number of cores in CCD). It is in "H" mode (automatic frequency co...

No big headlines. This month I have been working on making the previously submitted features work as intended. I have analyzed the information you have provided over the past few months and identified the key points that needed to be changed. As a result, I have redesigned the search for HOC CO values so that the temperature factor cannot affect the diagnostic stop. I also did a full synchronization between the HOC CO value search functions and the final phase of profile creation so that prof...

Rounding out this month is the second update, which focuses on Zen 5 support and improving a number of features for other generations of processors, graphics cards, and RAM. Zen 5 received the first adequate AMD CO search preset, perhaps even the resulting values may be a bit of an understatement. My further work with the new generation of processors will of course make adjustments.
I paid special attention to the system of storing intermediate diagnostic values (any), now data writin...

Super Admin ?
With the release of Zen 5, the Super Administrator account made a lot of noise (for those who don't know - running games through it allows you to boost performance in games on all CPU generations). Now you have the opportunity to evaluate it. The settings page offers to activate it in different ways convenient for you.

T-CONTROL (THREAD-CONTROL)
This month will emphasize this particular feature. The main innovation is real-time management of CPU cores/threads for an infinite number of user processes. You can for example do this for a game or a work application, or you can for example use only the first CCD for gaming and the second CCD for streaming. That is, maximum performance and maximum gaming comfort is always with you.

#1
The complexity of the interface and multiple HYBRID OC profiles is one factor that may prevent the user from easily tuning CPU performance or discourage the use of HYDRA. Also multiple profiles is a complex branching structure that may not always be optimal or even stable for unique user workloads. Added to this is the paradox of CPU frequency loss due to suboptimal temperature as HYBRID OC profiles r...

Hey, everybody!
This month, despite the huge power problems, I managed to realize 75% of the plan. This was a research of the behavior of cores under complex load to find the optimal CO. The results had a serious impact on the configuration files for the processor tests. In this update I added 3 basic tests for L1-L3 cache and FPU, which should have a positive impact on accuracy. I also paid special attention to the bugs you wrote about and those that were found during code refactoring...

Hey, everybody!
As promised earlier this month I've expanded memory chip support for DRAM diagnostics, and new speed options have been added.
The second very important new feature was the update of CPU diagnostics - AMD CO (Curve Opptimizer) search. New algorithm, new rules and new complex tests for verification stage. Since not all processors have identical behavior in the same load there are 2 presets. The default is set to my recommendation, but you are free to break it....

Hey, everyone! :)
This update is intended to make it easier to configure RAM. The tuner is able to select the optimal timings with respect to the rules and chip vendor. It is able to perform undervolting of a number of components and all this in automatic mode. Disadvantage? It is a long process and the better the memory chips the longer it takes. Built-in hints and assistant system will make the tuning process as comfortable and interesting as possible.
I would like to say a co...

Hi everyone!
I want to share news about the development of a RAM tuner.
At the moment it can:
1) Adjust user timings settings so that there are no inadequate values.
2) Tune timings individually for each type of chips taking into account all formulas and regularities.
3) Optionally do undervolting(!).
To test the most unpredictable situations, I took memory kits that were...

We continue to move forward on our spaceship into uncharted regions. This month I've been working on improving the quality of the product after implementing new GPU diagnostics. This update has some serious innovations for RX graphics cards - automatically finding both core frequency and core voltages at the same time (this has never been done before). I haven't forgotten about Nvidia graphics card owners - improved algorithms and special attention is paid to...

Hello everyone!
This update is not as much a volume update as it is a quality update. This month you wrote quite a lot of feedback about CPU diagnostics and I decided to redo it for the fourth time. It adds a number of tests (Y-cruncher), which more effectively check the operation of the core caches and also create a load to which the processor cannot adapt (previously you may have seen that some tests do not see errors in unstable CO). Algorithm of testing has been change...

I think many of you have encountered the problem when the values after diagnostics for CO are positive, not even 0.
Here is my example, the core has already a value of +2. So the factory values are unstable?

Q: - How to change the offset value for all points at the same time?
A: - For simultaneous offset increase or offset decrease the user has access to 2 keys, the icons on which indicate in which direction the offset will be changed. The step is 10MHz. Very useful function if you have detected instability after diagnostics. Try 1 or 2 steps down.

Hi everyone!
I think many people noticed that the project now has version 1.5. Yes it is. In addition to new features, attention was paid to long internal testing and improving the comfort of user interaction with the application.
I will not be afraid of these words, but this version is a significant evolutionary step in terms of stability and quality of work of a number of functions.
And now let's get a bit more detailed.

The last few weeks have been very eventful - particularly the dying Zen 4 for a number of reasons. Along with this for example ASUS has released 4 versions of BIOS. The other players in the market have the same thing. This mess created a lot of problems for testing and I decided to shift my efforts to finalizing the well-known DRAM Calculator for Ryzen (DCFR). A huge number of presets were added and also an assistant was developed to help you set up DRAM on y...
