How to PBO overclock your Ryzen to 5GHZ

Want to get that 690 single core performance? want to get that last bit out of your CPU so you can game the very best on your PC? read here for more info.

First step, BIOS menu with Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)

With Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) you can achieve a lot by doing just a little.
Its not the best all core for "benchmarking" however for "gaming" use it is the very best.

I've managed to get a 690 single core clock by making a 30 second adjustment in my own bios and a 15% improvement over the overclock I spent hours on.


For your knowledge this is the "manual pbo method"


1. Once your in the bios, scroll across to advanced.

2. Go to the "AMD Overclocking" tab and select.

3. Go to "Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)"

4. Change the limits tab to "Motherboard"

5. Now enter on the tab called "CURVE"

6. Enter the number NEGATIVE15-20 for very high performance gains.
(now some motherboards don't perform aswell as others and same with CPU silicone and memory "HOWEVER" if you start on NEGATIVE "15" and it crashes, do step 7.

7. If you are having instability's try change load line calibration for the CPU "LLC" the "DIGI PWR" which the tab is located back in the standard tweaker menu. Now adjust the to "Level 3"

At this point if its unstable, reduce your NEGATIVE offset number gradually. Will add photos to help in my next update!

Jumping right in with both feet is probably not best, especially if your CPU is older or weaker, and you have inadequate cooling.

My recommendations:
* Make sure your CPU can achieve a base of AT LEAST 4.2 GHz. It will be easier to reach the goal, and be less stressful on your components.
* Go in increments. Increments of -1 is best, but you could try steps of -2 or -3 if your system is powerful enough.
* Make sure it's well cooled. Water cooling is best, but if it's not an option, then keep your computer in a well ventilated area and get plenty of fans in it. You can also invest in a PC case with more vents built in.

I am currently running my PBO as follows -
PPT - 165
TDC - 105
EDC - 115
Scalar 1x
Max Boost - 5000mhz
All cores negative 20 except core 2 which is -15

Happy Amd'ing ;)

Hi rbtree1, I wouldnt try these settings unless on a good aio or custom water like mine sorry.

Nice, icecold!! I just today switched out my 3900x for a 5950x. Have been testing it stock, 3600 16--19-19 mem at 3600.... getting VG geekbench, CB, and CPU-z scores. 47257 Passmark cpu score. Temps are low, but I'm only running the 3900's Wraith cooler. Think I'm safe to try your settings? I'm not a gamer, photo and vid editing is my thing.
