Hi,
I see two BIOS locations where I can adjust PBO overclocking. (for extreme tweakers and advanced mode)

These appear similar, but I can also set them in Extreme Tweaker and Advanced under AMD overclocking.
What’s going on here?
It doesn’t look like these settings are connected, since I can change the values for the same fields in both places.
Which one should I use—Extreme Tweaker or AMD Overclocking with advanced settings?
It was a bit unclear to me as well regarding my TUF Gaming B550m PLUS...
The TWEAKER PBO configurations on my board are missing...
It was a bit unclear to me about my TUF Gaming B550m PLUS... The TWEAKER PBO configurations on my board are missing the essential Curve Optimizer features needed to fine-tune per-core V-F curves for better performance and effective undervolting. However, the AMD OVERCLOCKING settings in ADVANCED do include PBO, which is the only place I adjust it. Apart from CO-related adjustments, it's best not to change both areas at once, as this might cause unexpected outcomes.
It seems simpler for you since the undervolting choices are available in both areas. That's strange—I'm curious about the reasoning behind it. There probably is a good reason. Haha
I've thought about whether it's necessary for everything in the ADVANCED AMD Overclocking, PBS and CBS sections to be shown in a specific format as mandated by AMD (which is why the opt-in screen exists). Most manufacturers prefer to include at least some of their standard overclocking options on their usual screens, such as Asus's aiTweaker display. This approach keeps brand identity consistent and uses common interfaces. It seems like Asus is simply trying to obscure the CO settings on their screen for my budget TUF B550 board, refusing to show VRM temperature data for monitoring. It frustrates me that AMD insists on this on their screens.
What confuses me even more is how changes in one area don't reflect in another, or worse, how each section can display completely different values. I’m starting to believe the screens might not be pulling data from the same CMOS settings fields. Also unclear is which fields take priority and when. That’s why I stick to just one screen.
