PBO in 5220 is in Tweaker section and in sub menu of AMD Overclocking in the Advanced section

[Filters]

I've searched everywhere and can't find the answer. Are Performance Enhancer levels 3 and 4, PE3 and PE4, now gone from this board? I haven't seen them since at least Zen2 BIOSes started appearing and I stayed current with such BIOS versions and corresponding chipset updates even though sticking with 2700X.

I like that PBO finally appears in one place only in the latest BIOS 5220, on the tweaker page with all OC settings.

Edit: AMD CBS is still in Advance section. I was thinking the same PBO menu as in tweaker was there, but they are not the same. M1ck53's post made me doublecheck. I was looking for AMD CBS at the bottom of the Advanced menu during initial installation and thought it was gone, because I was already in that menu disabling ECC memory :/

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled amd chipset driver after flashing bios ?

@3X00 users:

1) Using Ryzen Balanced power plan is recommended?
2) Is 1903 noticeably better for Matisse? I read about scheduler optimization some time ago.

Will do a clean OS install and I'm torn between 1809 or 1903...

1903 is the recommended Windows 10 build for Matisse. Not quite sure how you can be torn when 1809 is old and not the best build of Windows 10 regardless of CPU.

But yes, 1903 is what you should be using. 1909 is out soon too, but that update will be applied to 1903 in a similar fashion as a service pack. Which is also meant to have further scheduler optimizations.

I use High Performance Ryzen. Some people said it prevents stuttering in games by cloking the CPU at 100% most of time.

[mikev190]

I actually was on (early) 1903 with my zen+, but ntoskrnl latency issues drove me back to 1809.

Yeah, let's just hope that 1909 will be good.

ntoskrnl issue has been fixed I believe

Anyone using Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 ram? Recent bioses (post ryzen 3000) cause random bsod at the rated 3200 MHz so I have to lower the speed. The ram is Hynix AFR die so it's mediocre quality but with pre-3000-bioses I was able to reach the max speed with docp profiles.

My cpu is a 2600x downvolted with an offset of -0.1000 V. All other settings are stock with bios 5220.

New bios (past 4207) are a no go for Zen+

i'm glad i never updated bios and im still running 4011

Where do we get Ai Suite III for this motherboard? Unless I'm blind, I'm not seeing it on the downloads page. The product page mentions Ai Suite support. I've heard that you can do BCLK overclocking in Windows with Ai Suite. It's basically my last ditch effort for trying to get over 100 BCLK.

Ive tried that.... no go. only lets you change multiplier and voltages.... AiSuite show the BCLK as 100mhz anyways which is wierd when every other program sees 99.8mhz

If you have an RTX 2080ti and use it to play @ 1080p (i.e. with no GPU bottleneck) - then you MIGHT get A BIT more fps in a couple of games.
As for the professional tasks - I really doubt 1-2 seconds more on 1809 when encoding something is gonna make a huge difference for you.

On the other hand, 1809 LTSC is more suitable for those who:
1) Want to remove telemetry (non-LTSC versions allow to remove less of it).
2) Want not to get faulty updates which all of non-LTSC versions are very famous for.
