be talking about Precision boost overdrive or PBO my favorite type of Sandwich specifically we're talking about pbo2 the version on Modern ryzen 5000 and 7000 chips but we're just going to refer to it

confusion what PBO actually does is send more power to the processor which allows the CPU to sustain higher clock speeds for longer periods of time so if you turn PBO on but leave the rest of your

have PBO turned on is to go into your BIOS and specifically look for the AMD overclocking section additionally although you can enable PBO through ryzen master in Windows ryzen Master can turn it back off upon reboot depending on how it's configured so yeah just enable it through the actual AMD settings in your BIOS and save yourself some headaches so once you've got it turned on another optional but cool thing you can try is undervolting the chip through PBO although this sounds counterintuitive as the point of PBO is to give the CPU more power many Verizon CPUs can actually achieve the same level of performance with less power also meaning less noise and heat and money yeah this could be especially useful for the new 7000 series which runs hotter and consumes more power than the 5000 series so if you want to undervolt just set the curve Optimizer to negative and enter a value between 1 and 30 in the magnitude field the larger the number the greater the undervolt but you won't want
