Hi,



I am about to get a Dark Hero board with a 5900x and coming from years with Intel i'm kinda lost about how I should Oc it. I've checked CTR and it seems like a great tool to start with, no?



I saw a very detailed tutorial for version 2.0 :Update RC5 - Clock Tuner for Ryzen 2.0 Tutorial and Download - New version with support for Ryzen 5000, Hybrid OC and Phoenix Mode | igor´sLAB



I was wondering if I can still use it since the latest release is 2.1, is there any differences? Some people on discord told me NOT to use this tool, i'd like your opinion



between PBO, curve, the switch oc on the dark hero, that's a lot of tools i'm not familiar with and i'd really like some expert advices





Thanks !

I saw someone telling me that CTR has kinda cooked his cpu with a high voltage, is this possible?

first thing to understand is Ryzen is exactly nothing like anything in your intel experience.

second thing to understand is it's pointless to overclock 5000 series cpus for simple performance reasons as the gains are very little if anything and probably will come at the expense of gaming performance which people are mostly concerned about

so...what are your overclocking goals? getting that kind of motherboard would suggest extreme overclocking on LN2 in which case I'd hope you've already a good idea of what you're about.

and yeah, the way CTR works, in default settings it tries to find a very low voltage for overclocking so I kinda doubt it would fry someone's cpu...unless they set it up to do so.

Here are my tests so far :


1.2 manual, 46 all cores
Bios settings : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OlnsMPI5z8zB8Tk7U8ZWhFZDbCxdQbTr/view?usp=sharing
CR20 screen with temps : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZYy1ahBwNyS9FBNRJH4Gu7laduifQ2v_/view?usp=sharing

1.3 voltage, curve optimiser
Bios settings : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JMQG7X6ckT8V9CUTkxZ_cC_Vx_AnP2aU/view?usp=sharing
CR20 screen with temps : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qbzwZesedfvWIIO-AAcgwg8KfMzoOIao/view?usp=sharing

1.3 voltage, curve optimiser + switch dark hero
Bios settings : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jqsoImQ0Kk3PbPhbfefxiagtQW2suqSw/view?usp=sharing
CR20 screen with temps : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a_iU-tn4KzI-bHEjGxU5ZsJrMPT4MIFx/view?usp=sharing

Best results are curve optimizer + switch but despite the 1.3v per CCX, seems the voltage are a bit high not (max 1.5v) i don't understand why

That leads me to some questions.

When using OC per CCX :

- Do you need to put a voltage in core voltage override or leave it auto?
- Do you need to input a core ration or the CCX will override?


Thanks again for your advices !
