CTR 2.1 RC6 (ver.20) - experimental build (GAME MODE)

Hi Andrew, I'm new at trying this cool software but I've same processor as you, running into a crosshair formula VIII, depending of the settings configured on my bios (mostly on DIGI settings) i was able to get SILVER quality or BRONZE quality. So, don't take the "rating" as something permanent, it could improve, as far as I tested. Nothing else, just my two cents :)

samples seem to make a huge difference.. my 5900x is bronze.. and it seems like after overclocks, my r20 performance on par with stock 5900x of "reviewer" (probably gold) quality. bah. nothing i can do about that, tho.

Doug Wilkinson

nice! curious which 3dmark test you are using? thanks

Sgt. Hatred

Holy crap. Ran this on my 5600x. Super stable. This version is king. Again, not as aggressive.. but amazing. Ended up with a gold sample.. 4.4ghz at 1v is pretty good. 3dmark pushed me up to 4999mhz. Cinebench multicore is lower.. but single core is 1pt higher than a stock 5950x.. so i cant complain. You are on to something here. This is gold.

A simple recommendation: join discord!

v20 for me is very stable out of box, ran diag and could play Cyberpunk for 2 hours no issues w/ 5950X. Also: the OB values (and the CO values presented during Diag) are now closer to the settings I've already found out by testing manually in the BIOS, seems like getting there. However, performance-wise I see about 10% CB scores less compared to previous builds. Any recommendations how to bump this up w/o losing stability?

False positives.

Running cinebench tests, I can get 1t to finish when I reduce the max boost to +75 instead of +100, but a 2t test immediately crashes. I'll be rolling back to v18 for now. I'm keen to get some help ironing out these issues, I'm really keen on this project and want to help identify why this is happening

v18 brought back the stability of RC5v22 for my system, which looked like a massive step in the right direction. I ran diag, bumped mV up by 25 across the board, reduced OB by 10 each time a specific test crashed in Cinebench, and I got stable settings within half an hour of finishing Diag. v20 seems to have brought back the instability of v13 for my system. Trying to get stability at the same clock speeds as v18 isn't working for me, with the same bios/mem/etc set. Even heavily reducing OB for Px and increasing mV by 75 for Px Low/Med/High I'm getting black screen crashes through all my thread tests using Cinebench. I don't understand why one version will happily run 4950-5000mhz at 1.4v happily for single thread, but the next version can't achieve the same, even with 50mV more juice to play. @yuri can you please send me a link for the discord? I can't find it anywhere

Game Mode on warzone stays 4825 ghz all cores. 5600x on crosshair vii. Thanks! excellent job

Hey Yuri, just FYI my bitdefender flagged ctr_update as a trojan. Not sure why because v13 and v18 was fine.

Sgt. Hatred

5900x wasnt stable on ver13 sadly.. but so far so good with ver 20. my usual tests that root out oc problems have passed so far.. more testing needed.. but very stable. excellent work. most stable ctr oc on this cpu yet.

Even though my knowledge is severely limited to the whole workings of CTR, Ive always been an avid supporter and try to 'chip-in' any info when I can. Ive not had any crashes with this latest incarnation or previous version and games have been running really well but one thing I have noticed with these two latest versions, while gaming, my cpu temperature has been pretty high. I dont know if they are very short brief spikes but according to Hwinfo, max temps are hitting in the late early to mid 80's. I know that is well within ryzen's max range but it's something that hasnt happened before with my system while using previous versions of CTR. But again, as always, big thanks for all your work!

"GameMode" seems to be working better and better.. Even with just my new 24/7 settings (hopefully) in CTR i'm getting closer and closer to my old maxbench in SotTR. Shadow of the Tomb Raider 291 cpu game average @ https://imgur.com/a/sHZUMC8 But is there a way to set a higher "CPU usage min (28) for profile P2 ? This game seems to be switching back and fourth between PX low and P2 profile.. I could try to disable SMT which should eliminate this problem and give me a higher score, but its a hassle to restart and go into bios everytime i want to change some settings and bench the difference. Keep up the good work
