ClockTuner Updated to v2.0 with Support for Ryzen 5000 CPUs

3rd party Ryzen overclocking tool, ClockTuner, has just been updated to version 2.0, adding support for Zen 3-based Ryzen CPUs (Ryzen 5000 series) and a few new features to optimize performance of Zen 2 or Zen 3 CPUs, including those that made our list of best CPUs. The application is designed to make overclocking easy for Ryzen users, and achieve the highest efficiency possible out of your Ryzen chip, no matter the core count.

With an application like ClockTuner, you can always just plug in a static core frequency and core voltage, but doing that with today's high-core count CPUs could yield negative results such as high power consumption and reduced single-core turbo frequencies. 

Just beware that this is a 3rd party application that will void your warranty with AMD. Also, there's no guarantee that this software will work 100% of the time, so just make sure you know you are getting into. Just like with anything to do with overclocking, there is some risk involved.
