I have heard that you shouldn't overclock the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 and that you should tweak PBO instead. Im wondering what should I go with? Right now I have a 4ghz all core overclock with PBO disabled. Im not to familiar with Ryzen so what do you guys think? Heres my hardware:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700
ASUS TUF X470-PLUS GAMING
NZXT Kraken x52 AIO CPU Cooler
32GB (16gb x 2) HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 (OC'd to 3466)
ASUS TUF X3 GTX 1660 Super 6GB
1TB WD Black SN750 NVME M.2 SSD
XFX TS-550 PSU

4GHz provides solid everyday optimization when temperatures and voltages are manageable. Typically, the maximum all-core boost from Ryzen matches its peak speed. Since Ryzen's boost method (PBO) focuses on individual cores, at 4GHz you might experience...

4GHz provides solid everyday optimization when temperatures and voltages remain within acceptable ranges. Typically, Ryzen's maximum all-core overclock matches its boost speed. Since Ryzen's boost method (PBO) focuses on one core, at 4GHz you might experience a slight drop in single-core performance compared to 4.1GHz or lower. The main concern lies in the specific voltage and temperature conditions, which would affect performance at different frequencies.
