Discussed issues with single-core boost overclocking.
Generally, for gaming it's better to keep PBO enabled and let it boost, since games gain more from boosting just a few cores. For multithreaded tasks like rendering, an all-core manual OC works better—Ryzen Master lets you set per-core manual overclocks, with some cores running higher and others lower. This isn't true boost, but it's a manual fixed-overclock approach; you can't ensure the game will run on the higher clocks.
I've looked into Ryzen Master but haven't found a clear solution. For Ryzen 3.9–4.1, you should aim for a base boost of 4.4 and a performance boost of 1.0 or higher.
