HYDRA 1.7D PRO (BIG UPDATE) - RELEASED!

T-CONTROL (THREAD-CONTROL)

This month will emphasize this particular feature. The main innovation is real-time management of CPU cores/threads for an infinite number of user processes. You can for example do this for a game or a work application, or you can for example use only the first CCD for gaming and the second CCD for streaming. That is, maximum performance and maximum gaming comfort is always with you.

In addition to controlling user processes, there is automatic thread control for processes with high CPU utilization. What does it mean? For example, you have made manual profiles for some games, but forgot to make it for a new game.

What will happen? Automatics selects the optimal threads for this game with priority on a high performance CCD without using SMT. If there are not enough threads, the SMT of the performance CCD will be enabled. If again there are not enough threads - the second CCD will be connected.

That is T-CONTROL is the correct use of processor cores/threads to achieve the maximum result.

I also made sure that T-CONTROL filters the processes and in no case can affect any system process, and the previously imposed mask will not randomly come off if the process decides to fix it.

GPU DIAGNOSTIC (speed increased up to 5x for AMD and up to 1.6x for NVIDIA)

I started preparing a material about overclocking video cards with HYDRA and did a comparative testing of video cards with and without waterblocks. Thanks to this I managed to find controversial points and unpredictable behavior of algorithms. Now everything should be as intended in 70% of situations. The higher percentage I can't offer due to factory defect / other user problems like "stuffy" case.

For example, the picture shows the cooling problem of my 7900 XTX, because of which it is constantly in throttle and therefore it is out of the question to pass the diagnostics correctly.
As a result, alternative methods like limiting the power package or limiting the frequency did not allow the video card to run without throttling. The loss was about 600MHz.

Video card diagnostics worked as it should only when the cooling system was replaced.
Be prepared for this, that your hardware requires upgrades.
