The CTR 2.0 RC5 is not functioning correctly on my Ryzen 5 5600x.

I wanted to review the image you shared:

I considered whether it might be worth testing the 5600x sample I received, to see what extra performance could be achieved.
I installed the software correctly, extracted the CTR 2.0 RC5 files, opened the application, navigated to CB20, replaced existing files, and accepted the agreement before launching CTR 2.0.
I had already started Ryzen Master and confirmed that virtualization was not enabled. I switched the LLC VRAM and CPU into Turbo mode—though I’m not sure if that was the right setting for an Aorus X570 Elite, as its BIOS can be quite confusing.
When I began the installation, the core frequencies weren’t displayed. After clicking "Diagnostic," it initiated Cinebench R20 for a single test run and then remained stuck indefinitely. The CPU usage stayed low, suggesting it wasn’t actively doing anything. If I closed the program during this period (after the first C20 run), reopening it would display "Congratulations, you've got a platinum sample" along with some suggested profiles. Is this typical behavior? What’s happening with this CTR?
System details:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570
RAM: TridentZ Neo 3600Mhz CL16
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
CPU Cooler: Arctic Esports Duo 34
GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming x3 1660 super
Power Supply: Sharkoon WPM Gold Zero 550w
I use a different version of CTR since I'm on Patreon, though I'm not sure about the exact BIOS settings. As far as I understand, you can enable or disable certain options in the BIOS, but unless the curve optimiser is off, most changes won't affect you much. On your screenshot, it shows 'number of existing CCD-2', which suggests you might have a rarer model like the 5600X with two CCDs. I think there were issues with earlier CTR versions for these models, but Yuri fixed them in later updates—though I'm not certain if the 2.0 release includes the fix.

Also, I observed that your BIOS remains in beta with the latest AGESA update, which seems to be linked to problems with CTR. I think Yuri addressed it, but I’m not certain if it’s now publicly available.
