Can we get this new Ryzen optimization tool on Linux/Manjaro as well?

Recently featured on Linus tech tips as well:

Theres a handful of utilities out there … like this one:

moson · 24 August 2020 22:13

Again, the approximate release date - September 2020, keep an eye out here on Guru3D for more information.

I guess it will be a windows only thing. Hopefully they’ll publish the code. (Notgonnahappeniguess)

Can we get this new Ryzen optimization tool on Linux/Manjaro as well?

Ask Guru3D to make it open source and to make it available on Linux. From what I see so far in the article you linked, it looks like a Windows program.

Currently, for AMD stuff, I use:

cscs · 24 August 2020 22:37

…

With yay , run:
yay -Sy corectrl

nightmare-2021 · 24 August 2020 23:54

No - that’s not true
Your wish was my command - it’s now available from Manjaro.
If you are at unstable, just use this:

pamac install corectrl

realmain · 24 August 2020 23:58

OH! You’re going to maintain this package on Manjaro for us?! That’d be amazing!

nightmare-2021 · 25 August 2020 00:00

I also have an AMD CPU and I’m always close to myself

cscs · 25 August 2020 00:20

The more important thing was that is not how to install packages … its how you get partial upgrades.

That is until you decided to maintain it in our repos. Cuz thats cool news. Cheers.

As it is based on Ryzen Master it is not a Linux tool.

Actually, looking at the developers previous projects, those seem to be written in C# which can be de-compiled. So there is some chance that it can be easily reverse engineered and ported to Linux.

jiweigert · 25 August 2020 16:21

Why reengineering, when the author is here on the forum

moson · 25 August 2020 16:26

What, who?

airclay · 25 August 2020 16:27

@jiweigert is referrring to the package @nightmare-2021 put in the official repo corectrl

While @moson is referring to the Clock Tuner app in OP.

moson · 25 August 2020 16:28

Indeed, I meant that tool in the first post from this guy:

Yochanan · 25 August 2020 16:38

You can follow those instructions if you want to suppress those warnings.

build() {
  cmake -B build -S "$pkgname-v$pkgver" \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
  -Wno-dev
  make -C build
}

package() {
  make -C build DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

It looks like you built the AUR package instead of installing the package @nightmare-2021 added to the repos. It’s only in the unstable branch so far as he mentioned.

jiweigert · 25 August 2020 16:44

Right, I build the AUR package as i’m on stable branch.
But anyway, I am on the dev-side of those, who are welcoming warnings, instead of suppressing them.

Warnings ( even depreciated ones,) should be respected and fixed, not suppressed.

All good.

Kind regards,

I already use cpu-autofreq, would I get any benefit from using this new software as well? (I have a 2700x CPU)

omano · 27 August 2020 17:28

Not really, CoreCTRL doesn’t really have anything for CPU, for me on my Ryzen 5 3600 it only has a governor setting, pretty useless in my opinion. for AMD video cards though you could have many tweak available, especially for supported card where you may be able to even play with voltage and things like that.
