Just to clarify, PBO is NOT overclocking. Enabling it bypasses some of the chip's built in power limits and uses the motherboard's instead. At no point will the chip exceed it's clock specifications with PBO.

Just to clarify @Rebe1 has guided to use "max frequency overdrive: 100 MHz" that enables AutoOC, OC stands for Overclock/Overclocking AFAIK, below is example for you to reference, please see the blue highlighted element in HWINFO and also see clock MHz, besides other info in the CPU window.



If @Rebe1 had only stated set PBO to Enabled or Manual and set PPT/TDC/EDC at xyz then yes I would have agreed as stated in linked article. The moment you introduce a offset to MHz it's an overclock. Also see what term Ryzen Master has once you add "max frequency overdrive: 100 MHz", in this ZIP is a WMV of my system and RM is shown.
