So, what seems to be the wisdom regarding Zen 2 and PBO? I've been rocking my 3900X for the past year or so ( Bought at release ) and it has been great, no issues at all. I remember seeing a bunch of things around launch that PBO really wasn't where it needed to be across many motherboard vendors and agesa versions, but surely things have matured greatly since then. So, if anyone would like to chime in with their experiences regarding PBO, past or otherwise, I'd be really curious to know how it has been holding up. I think PBO is supposed to still work within FIT parameters for the cpu, but has anyone who has been using it noticed any signs of degradation or wonkiness of any kind? Again, I'd like to keep this around PBO as I'm aware of CCX overclocking, etc. And I know that's likely where the biggest gains are to be had at least in multi-core workloads. But, as someone who just wants a quick and easy "extra performance toggle", does PBO fill that role? Again, I've been running this thing stock ever since I got it and its been great, I'd just like to know how this feature has panned out since then. Thanks for any replies, and take care!
