Unclear what you're asking about the Ryzen 5 3500 PBO settings. Could you clarify your question?
I need feedback from those familiar with PBO and AUTO OC via Ryzen Master. I began experimenting with PBO on my HP Pavilion TG01-0018, which uses a HP Erica 2 motherboard. The standard PBO values are PPT 1000W, TDC 60A, EDC 90. I tested with CB R23 and monitored performance in CPU-Z. The initial default settings gave poor results—typically around 2740-2800 multi-core and 460-480 single-core. After adjusting PPT to 88W (the suggested level for 65W chips), my scores improved significantly. Now I’m at PPT 70W with 95% performance, TDC 50 at 80%, EDC 75 at 97-100%. This setup is delivering the best speeds, though I notice voltage fluctuations between 1.34 and 1.44. I understand my MBO is subpar, but I’m curious if I’m applying the values correctly and why I can lower TDC so much to hit those percentages. I could easily bring TDC down to 40 for a perfect 100%.

For optimal performance, consider moving to a 3700X board, which this model supports. It offers the second fastest processor on the market. The VRM solution may not be sufficient for overclocking. I’m also curious about the cooler—no details available. It seems like a stock Wraith Stealth setup. Upgrading the cooler could improve temperatures and help it perform better with PBO enabled.
I've already upgraded the cooler to a Noctua NH-L9i. Since then, the highest temperature I've recorded is 80°C while running Prime 95 for an hour. I believe I have a solid chip, but I know the motherboard isn't great. Could this be why I can maintain such low temperatures? It's my son's first gaming PC, and we're really hooked. I'm planning to buy him a new motherboard and case for Christmas. I also want a new GPU, though I wonder if prices will change soon. Thanks for your help—I'm still getting the hang of things.
