HYDRA 2.0B PRO - RELEASED! (BIG UPDATE)
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 18:40:31 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Introducing update 2.0B — our largest engineering push this year. It delivers a record volume of new and rewritten code, on par with the total of previous monthly releases. You’ll get the features you’ve been waiting for, plus broad gains in reliability and speed. Core systems were refactored for lower overhead and faster response, and key algorithms were redesigned to run smarter and more efficiently.
Presentations of key innovations can be found here:
Another bonus is significantly updated diagnostics for NVIDIA graphics cards, which, in addition to auto-overclocking, now informs the user about the results and shares tips.
Core VID locking and new sensors are available in RTSS and monitoring.

The tool for creating the ideal curve has also been updated.

As always, the full list of changes is just below on this page.
ONLINE-GUIDE (1.8H) :
CHANGELOG:
Added
SQ AGENT — CPU benchmark and co‑pilot for PBO2 and per‑core Curve Optimizer, focused on maintaining balance within CCDs (TESTS tab).
Core VID Lock (NVIDIA) — manually pin the GPU core’s operating VID, mirroring manual overclocking behavior (RTX‑TUNER tab).
Experimental Memory Stability Test (NVIDIA) — new stress path for diagnosing memory stability on NVIDIA GPUs (AMD support planned for the next update).
Post‑diagnostic summary (NVIDIA) — after auto‑tuning, HYDRA now provides a detailed analysis of the generated curve with actionable recommendations.
New RTSS/monitoring sensors (NVIDIA) — added throttling cause and memory controller load.
User Profiles (HYBRID OC) — expanded options; everything enthusiasts need in one place.
Improved
NVIDIA diagnostic (auto‑tuner) — redesigned for faster runs and higher accuracy.
NVIDIA Curve Editor — revamped tool for precise, easy adjustment of the core frequency/voltage curve.
HYBRID OC UI — refreshed for clearer visuals and simpler workflows.
Resource usage — lower CPU overhead; PresentMon integration now consumes less processor time.
Window state handling — more reliable behavior for tray and minimization.
Updated libraries — overall stability and fault tolerance improved.
Localization compatibility — better support on systems with non‑English OS locales.
CPU support — improved handling of processors with disabled CCDs.
HYBRID OC custom profiles — consolidated into a single storage file.
Profile creation (HYBRID OC) — hardened algorithm; in edge cases profiles are created with a logged warning.
AMD GPU diagnostics — improved stability.
Conflict Check module — updated logic and messaging (LOGGING tab).
CPU diagnostics — minor enhancements and additional anti‑loop safeguards.
Driver‑crash resilience — when the graphics driver crashes, HYDRA now restores the Windows Performance Counters used by several features.
Fixed
Graphics tests — corrected wrong resolution selection for the Elemental and Pure tests on systems using custom display scaling.
Miscellaneous — numerous minor bug fixes and text/tooltip updates.
KNOWN ISSUES:
* False positive of antivirus (like always).

According to the instructions included with each release, the diagnostic process (automatic memory configuration) consists of three stages: setting new timing values, rebooting the system (memory training), and stability testing. If for some reason the system does not boot, it means that memory training cannot be performed with the necessary settings. Another important condition before performing DRAM diagnostics is to reset all memory settings to factory defaults and disable Memory Context in the BIOS (HYDRA warns about this). Feel free to ping me or @profitkaa on Discord to resolve any issues or get help.

1) I hired a specialist (@profitkaa) on Discord who answers any questions users may have. 2) There is a huge manual describing all the features. It is updated periodically. With each release, I attach it to the post. And I duplicate it here again. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_j6vB61koOVwEHLrvqt7lh1RYw4XRuoTIeEDtYmnFj0/edit?slide=id.p1#slide=id.p1 3) Video card diagnostics cannot overclock a video card that is throttling for one of eight reasons or is located in a stuffy case. 4) By default, the graphics card diagnostics optimize power consumption and temperature, and only if a number of conditions, including a free current limit, allow OC, it performs OC. The 5090 is not cool, economical, and has no current reserve. 5) Processor diagnostics cannot be accurate if heat from the video card is warming up the processor cooling system. You are diagnosing the processor without the factor when the video card overheats its cooling system. Of course, in games, if you have a poor cooling system, the basic condition for CO correctness will be violated. 6) The manual states that system reboots, including BSODs, are a natural response of the processor to a lack of power. Stress tests cannot always detect problems (instability) in advance. Every month, I work on improving the algorithm and taking into account new negative factors that may affect processor diagnostics. Feel free to ping me or @profitkaa on Discord to resolve any issues or get help.

Hydra 2.0 B is really very bad automatic PBO test absolutely not stable crashes the system many blue screens, oc of my Asus 5090 astral graphics card the oc below the non oc level even by increasing the memory, the oc of the automatic PBO does anything and gives you blue screens oc memory impossible crash I adjusted my PBU manually the black boxes mean that your PBO is too low so I increased them system crash, no explanation or example or adjustment advice for the 5090 for 12.60 euros per month I find that it is sloppy work

j'ai une question, quel réglage pour la etx 5090 astral ? vous montrez un exemple amd mais pas nvidia et même en oc je suis en dessous du profil non oc

Please add me to the group, I want to test 5600 then 5700x

I tried to start the DRam Diag, windows immediately restarted an it keeps trying to restore windows itself. Wtf?
