HYDRA 1.8C PRO (UPDATED T-CONTROL + POWERFUL CPU PROFILE CUSTOMIZATION) - RELEASED!

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 - 10147, which is 21% more. What is the difference? 4 fully loaded cores + 2 partially loaded cores for Windows dispatching, for HYDRA - all 6 physical cores. The same situation will be for any other processor, be it 8, 12 or 16 cores.

AMD Ryzen 5 8600G stock, CB 23 6 threads, Windows dispatching - 8361

Also for the skeptics I made screenshots of what happens during the test itself to remove doubts in faking the results. Another important thing I am proud of is that 0-0.1% requires HYDRA for thread dispatching.

The last pictures perfectly show another improvement - the stability of the result due to minimal cotext switching.

The second important feature of this update.

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 control by HYDRA) with respect to "VID" and "THM" values. That is, the limiting factor is either 1300mV or 75 degrees. There are no more limits (don't forget that the limiting factor of boost is always also dependent on "CO").

"MT" profile is designed to work with multithreaded load of different intensity. It is controlled in the same way as HYDRA since "H" mode is enabled, but with other limiting factors "VID" and "THM".

"GAME" profile is responsible for CPU boost in games. It is enabled only in situations when video card usage triggers are triggered. For this example, I unchecked "Dynamic" mode, which tells this profile to keep the CPU frequency set in the same table (5400MHz). In this mode, the profile is not affected by any limiting factors.

Next are group profiles "USER#0-2," which are intended for user customization. I added several rendering applications to the "USER#0" profile by double-clicking on it (after double-clicking on it an auxiliary application selection window opens).



Next, I switched the control mode from "H" to "PBO" (yes yes yes, that "AMD PBO") and set its limits as "PPT" 120 watts and 75 degrees. So what is going to happen in the end?

If HYDRA sees any of the applications added to the "USER#0" profile running, it will reconfigure the CPU boost to the limits I specified in the table.

In the group profile USER#1 I added e.g. browsers to it and set its "PPT" limit to 60W. In the "USER#2" profile I added photoshop.

You may have also noticed that there are other columns in the tables that I didn't say anything about. These are "EDC" and "TDC". You can customize this as well, in my case the value 0 means that we ignore this limitation.

Also for each group profile "USER#0-2" you can use a timer, which is responsible for what period of the day a particular profile is valid.

________________________________________________________________________________

The biggest question is why all this if you can leave the processor alone after finding and applying "AMD CO"?

1. The "H" mode (HYDRA control) ignores all factory limits of AMD processor boost. That is, for example 7600X processor can boost not up to 5.5GHz but up to 5.8GHz or even higher (if a lucky copy) without danger of damage or overheating.

2. Dynamic frequency in games does not always have a positive effect on gaming comfort, it can create freezes and lags, so manual frequency locking through the profile can help you significantly.

3. You give an ultimatum to an application or group of applications how much CPU power they are allowed to spend. Tired of browsers heating up your CPU to 80 degrees? Limit them by profiling them.

In fact, there are many examples, but the most important thing is that you are completely free to do what you want.

CHANGELOG:

* Updated "T-CONTROL" for all Zen generations. Yes, you heard right, there is even support for Zen 1. More stability and performance for all Zen generations.
* The most powerful customization for "HYBRID OC." Added PBO settings for each of the "HYBRID OC" profiles.
* Added another "HYBRID OC" user profile, now there are 3 of them. Recall that each profile can control CPU state for 1 or more applications.
* Added support for Zen 4 APU (8000G). Processor monitoring and control is available. Diagnostics during the development process.
* Zen 3 APUs (5000G) have received a number of fixes and improvements for correct operation. Note, AMD CO monitoring is not working, but AMD CO management is working.
* For Zen 3 APU (5000G) and Zen 4 APU (8000G), added "apu_slow_limit_ppt" and "slow_limit_ppt" control. Controlled via PPT limit "slider" for user comfort.
* Fixes some DDR4 settings management functions (tCKE, tRCDRD, tRCDWR, tRFC and tCWL).
* Fixed a bug where user profiles in "RTX-TUNER" could be ignored and not enabled.
* Reduced CPU usage for HYDRA needs and through refactoring improved the overall stability of the application.
* Reworked the trigger for waking the computer from sleep and then restoring custom "HYBRID OC" and AMD PBO values if they were active.
* The game triggers have also undergone refactoring, improved functionally.
* "HYBRID OC" tab has received some visual changes to improve the user experience.
* Improved compatibility with applications that have privileges or full control of PCI mutex permissions

KNOWN ISSUES:

* False positive of antivirus (like always).
