5900X - Settings on a B450 Tomahawk Max

[zom247]

I'm getting a 5900X and wondered if there were any settings etc in the BIOS I have to change once it's installed. I've got the latest BIOS already installed and all my drivers are up to date.

So long as the bios are updated it should just be the case of a drop in upgrade.

Thanks. Came across PBO whilst looking through the fourms and wondered if I had to touch that or not.

Things like PBO are optional but maybe worth having a play with as the new features like the curve optimizer can apply dynamic Undervolting to the cores so can boost performance while also lowering temps.

My experience with pbo, especially on 5000 chips is hotter temps (+10 to 15 degree's) and little to no extra clock speed.

The key is to reduce the PBO limits and not raise them, atleast that's what I've found works best with the 5800X
