if you've got an AMD processor or just thinking about buying one you might be a

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:10.559
little confused by all the intricacies of team red specific overclocking and

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.480
yes I know that there are options for one click quick and dirty overclocking

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:18.660
but there are some ryzen specific idiosyncrasies that are super helpful to

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:24.019
know about today we're going to be talking about Precision boost overdrive

00:00:20.939 --> 00:00:26.760
or PBO my favorite type of Sandwich

00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:31.320
specifically we're talking about pbo2 the version on Modern ryzen 5000 and

00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:36.180
7000 chips but we're just going to refer to it as PBO from here on out is that

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:41.100
okay although it's often thought of as another one-click overclocking solution

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:46.680
it turns out that PBO doesn't directly overclock your CPU which has been a

00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:52.079
source of confusion what PBO actually does is send more power to the processor

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:57.420
which allows the CPU to sustain higher clock speeds for longer periods of time

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.620
so if you turn PBO on but leave the rest of your settings on defaults you'll see

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:05.760
the CPU spend more time hitting whatever the Boost speed is on the spec sheet

00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:10.320
simple enough but here's a recommendation for you the best way to

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:14.939
ensure you do in fact have PBO turned on is to go into your BIOS and specifically

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:20.220
look for the AMD overclocking section additionally although you can enable PBO

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:25.140
through ryzen master in Windows ryzen Master can turn it back off upon reboot

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:28.979
depending on how it's configured so yeah just enable it through the actual AMD

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:33.299
settings in your BIOS and save yourself some headaches so once you've got it

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:38.460
turned on another optional but cool thing you can try is undervolting the

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:43.140
chip through PBO although this sounds counterintuitive as the point of PBO is

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:48.180
to give the CPU more power many Verizon CPUs can actually achieve the same level

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:55.920
of performance with less power also meaning less noise and heat and money

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:58.320
yeah this could be especially useful for

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:03.299
the new 7000 series which runs hotter and consumes more power than the 5000

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:08.700
series so if you want to undervolt just set the curve Optimizer to negative and

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:13.020
enter a value between 1 and 30 in the magnitude field the larger the number

00:02:10.619 --> 00:02:16.980
the greater the undervolt but you won't want to go too aggressive or your system

00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:20.819
will become unstable try some different values to see which works best with your

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.080
specific chip and hopefully your PC doesn't disintegrate

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:29.580
so you know how to use PBO but how do you combine it with an actual overclock

00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:32.879
to maximize your performance we'll tell you right after we thank freshbooks for

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:03.480
actually turning your clock speeds up with PBO isn't too hard although you can

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:07.680
just select the auto overclocking option in ryzen master and Windows and call it

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:12.180
a day you can get better results in the BIOS with minimal effort in that same

00:03:10.140 --> 00:03:15.659
AMD overclocking section in your BIOS that we mentioned earlier look for a

00:03:13.980 --> 00:03:20.580
setting that says something like boost clock override from there you can enter

00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:25.440
in a value in megahertz that represents how far past the maximum boost clock

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:30.360
listed on the box you want to push your processor starting small and adjusting

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:34.319
in roughly 25 megahertz increments is a good way to find a stable speed that

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.519
maximizes performance without pushing the system too hard now this might not

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:42.959
sound super different from traditional overclocking but doing it through PBO is

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.580
actually a bit safer since you're raising power limits without manually

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:52.920
overvolting meaning that there's no risk of frying your poor CPU why do you

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.879
torture it not to mention that PBO actually uses a smart algorithm that'll

00:03:55.379 --> 00:04:00.599
keep you from completely throwing caution to the wind of course you'll

00:03:58.739 --> 00:04:03.900
still want to appropriately stress test your system to make sure your PBO

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.099
overclock is stable and your computer won't crash while gaming watching the

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:12.360
final of the Bachelor or in the middle of a crucial job interview unless you're

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:16.979
applying for a job here at LMG in which case I can assure you we'll have tons of

00:04:14.459 --> 00:04:20.280
sympathy for a failed overclock oh we might even give you bonus points hey
