ClockTuner for Ryzen (CRT) is a utility that allows you to perform advanced management of various operating parameters of AMD Ry processors zen, with access to settings that are typically not accessible to the user from the motherboard bios or operating system.

ClockTuner for Ryzen has recently been updated to version 2.0 , currently available as internal beta and from the end of January 2021 scheduled for public release. It introduces support for the new Ryzen CPUs of the family 5000 based on Zen 3 architecture as well as the APUs of the Renoir family. The most interesting news concerns the inclusion of a new mode for processor overclocking, called Hybrid OC and compatible with Ryzen CPUs based on Zen 2 and Zen 3 architectures.

With it it is possible to follow an intermediate approach that combines the benefits of manual overclocking with those of the boost clock implemented in the processor, obtaining a tangible performance increase when all cores are used in processing. The utility also allows you to intervene in undervolting , reducing the power requirements of the processor in fact with the same clock frequency so as to reduce overall power consumption and temperatures.

The developer of ClockTuner for Ryzen has also made available a roadmap of future versions : that 2.1 will arrive during the first half of 2021 introducing support for the automatic curve optimizer for CPUs with Zen 3 architecture. For version 2.2, expected in the third quarter, implementation of the support for AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU 5000 next generation in addition to Ryzen 5000 for mobile systems .
