We've come quite a long way since the release of the first CTR 2.1. And this month a lot of important and exclusive features await all Early Access Club.

______________________

Apart from the updates for CTR 2.1 we'll be changing the "charging" policy for Early Access Club members in 2 days. "Charging" will take place immediately at the beginning of the month rather than at the end. 

Why this change? 

There is a fairly large percentage of the public who join to the  Early Access Club, get all the work (guides and builds) and leave. Free of charge and without any penalties. The next month they do the same. I think this is quite painfully to the project and to other, honest early access users.Thank you all for your help and trust.

An appropriate adjustment for your excellent work.

Martin Wolf

I am quite appalled by this behaviour of some users. Your work is really great, if that is necessary to continue your project I support you fully!

Bluevisionart

That‘s the way to go, appreciated. You can count on my support. THX Yuri!

Henry Curtis Pelgrift

That’s honestly pretty shitty behaviour on their part. While they’re not paying for a product (they’re patrons), you are choosing to give your patrons a gift for their support (early access and guides as well as guidance), so those people are abusing a gift. I don’t know a single culture where that isn’t considered disgusting behaviour. I also thought it charged me at the start of the month anyway, but that might be because other projects were doing that for me. 😂

Henry Curtis Pelgrift

Also, yeah, I’ve noticed that too on threads. It’s often a particular thread (thread #0 or thread #11 on my 3700X or thread #10 on my 5600X) that gets dropped. So, it’ll be interesting to see how it compensates. Can’t wait for RC3! 😬 But also, you plan on keeping the long diagnostic as an option, yeah? Like I don’t mind having a diagnostic run for 1 hour or 2 hours if it means that my chip is thoroughly tested, and it’s determined to be a gold sample (oh to have a platinum sample!). It would also be nice to have a detailed log option where you can see how often and when CTR switched profiles in Hybrid OC (obviously not default or you’ll give folks a wall of text, but maybe I want to see how often my computer changed profiles overnight or maybe it could even help with error reporting?!).

Hey thanks Yuri! QUESTION: I run (msi bios) -45w PBO setting on 2 cores when using my gaming pc for 24hr mining, then when I switch to gaming for a short time I use PBO "Enhanced 2" with cores on auto. I'm changing this in bios every time when I start and stop gaming. Is there a setup in the current CTR that gives me a profile like this? Would it be worth it to OTHER USERS to have this?

Been here many months, plan on staying many more. This is work I have no trouble throwing some monetary support behind.

question: after diagnose and tunning P1 and P2, after P2 si done , the CB20 bench stops because its over the 200W power limit ~ i think 235W or so. Anyhow, is it advisable or can you even have 2 different Max PPT(W) , one for P1 and one for P2? And if the tunning for P2 is fine, why does the CB bench use more than 200W and fails? Maybe many reboots happen because of too low PPT?

Fran Carrillo

It's on your BIOS PPT Auto? I modified to 250W on CTR my PPT setting and Its works , but some people had to change PPT limit on BIOS.

Mohammed El-Ashri

I love your work, even though I've seen someone who's sharing the patreon's only builds/guides, I preferred to join here as I'd like to support the devs (being an ex-software dev myself, I understand the pain) A Suggestion: Maybe, in the next major release, say, version 3 mixed with Dram calculator (for example); I would'nt mind (and I believe alot of people wouldnt as well) if its a licensed tool with a paid upgrade for major releases (or any kind of licensing scheme), this is just an example that came to mind.

Fixwec

Yeah I figured that people would be doing that i pledged that if I decided not to stay I'd wait until after charge at least .. still here tho 😁

Andrei C.

I have all the settings as per Yuri's instructions so i think the Bios is on Auto.

Fixwec

Also just wanna say thanks for your work , I just got unlucky myself if there was a tin sample I would have it my 3800x drops thread on like 3rd stress test lol so damn bad make a new category for my cpu Tin ...or like paper ☹️

Fran Carrillo

Some people on Discord commented some days ago that had to change PPT, EDC and TDC to manual on BIOS and setting the value desire using CTR RC1 because they changed values on CTR and can´t properly use its as maximun value, maybe is your case, looks that its deppends of your mother board and its BIOS that CTR's PPT rule the value over BIOS's PPT setting. You can try to found and set manually on your BIOS and then change it on CTR at desire value. What PSU are you using?

Xdrqgol

@yuri you have our support! Btw - got Dark Hero finally delivered and now CTR runs super smooth! 🙌

Fixwec

Sorry 5800x lol new so keep doin that

Mickey85

Nice, I'm running the Dark Hero too - which chip are you using? 5950x here!

Xdrqgol

5900x here! But i am looking for 5950x - hopefully in 2 weeks will get one to try it out!

Gabriel

I am curious...I always thought about CTR as a way to get Dark Hero dynamic OC without buying the Dark hero. So what benefit are you getting with CTR over just using the Dark Hero's own feature?

Riwwelorsch

CTR: switching between PX High, PX Mid, PX Low, P2, P1, each totally free to configure, no clock stretching Dark Hero: switching between standard boost (perhaps with curve optimizer) and a static manual OC

Henry Curtis Pelgrift

Oh yeah, so while I get that the penalties at the end of the tuning are basically downward adjustments to the last step’s results, what all are the levels? I’ve seen Level 1 and Level 2. Like how much of an adjustment is each level?

Xdrqgol

Although CTR is an amazing project, i cannot so far get better results than I get with dark hero + curve optimizer only ...like no way I can get even close to that performance both in multi thread application or games. But I am pretty sure Yuri will bring some great performance!

1usmus

each level depends on vdroop and processor temperature

Gabriel

curious what you get in CB20 single and multi with CTR vs PBO?

James Tiller

I was curious at how many people would pop in, download and leave. You do A LOT of work within a month and the 'freeloaders' manipulating the system get away with all of the benefits from the time and effort you put in. Just in my opinion, take care of yourself, change what needs to be changed. Those that truly support the knowledge and effort understand and will gladly pay for it.

Riwwelorsch

Just look in the guide...

Gabriel

what? First, I was not asking you. Second, the guide is going to tell me his exact Dark Hero CB20 scores? that is one heck of a guide if it does.

Xdrqgol

Hey Gabriel, i do not use PBO, i only use curve optimizer and get 652 single in CB20 and 697 in CPUz ....with CTR u get around 635 in CB20 and CPUZ around 580( but there is an issue there not sure what is happening) I am exploring other options but so far the bios tweaks are 24/7 runs super good no clock stretching ..Dark Hero is pure MONSTER ...worth every penny! I am running also 4x8GB 3800/1900 - 54ns

Mickey85

I may have to pick you brain on what settings your using for curve optimizer and all-core overclocks. I was using PBO before - I'd be interested to hear how your doing it without PBO and beating out CTR tuning on the DH. I've got the 5950X on C8DH

Gabriel

Xdrqgol, I am having an ODD issue with CTR that I decided to just go back to PBO for now. I had P1, P2 and Px all seemingly stable with blender, other benchmarks, my games and Photoshop plugins. But the moment I go to AIDA64 and under Benchmark try something like CPU Zlib test is an automatic reboot. I had to drop Px down to 4900...way below what works on every other app to not reboot. So I gave up on it for that at least for now. :/

Xdrqgol

Identify your best cores, you will have to do some testing with OCCT on every core and register what the negative offest will be for that same core ( it will take time) . After you finalize what negative offest is required for each core for 24/7 stability( use curve optimizer per core and NOT all core) fill the information based on your test-> then you move to PPT , EDC, TDC and play with the values for maximum performance. That is pretty much what I have done, and I think i have a pretty low silver sample 5900x... but still CTR will run better once Yuri will tweaked it better ! For now, at least for me - bios seems more reliable for my work and 24/7 usage.

Gabriel

Oh yes i already got my pbo working great so the issue is Px specifically not allowing me anything over 4900 to be stable with that test so yeah, in sticking to bios for the time been

Shawn Tautfest

love the work you do and appreciate this kind of tool! cant express it enough

Anyone know the discord link?
