Hi,
I have not been able to conclusivley find anything online, so I thought I would ask the experts here.
I want to enable PBO, but I don't want to degrade my CPU. I have read that PBO voids the AMD warranty; is that because it pushes the CPU to unsafe levels?
I have a 3800X with an MSI x57-a-pro motherboard, and EVGA 850W PSU. Cooling it is an h100 Pro XT.
I have tried setting PBO to motherboard settings, with a +300 Mhz, and have noticed that hwinfo shows a few of the cores going up to 4675. Which is nice. Idles at 28-32 (ambient +7), dev tasks are low 50s, compiling brings it up to low 60s.
So my question is: will PBO degrade the CPU, and does scalar value matter for CPU degredation? Is there an optimal/safe value for the scalar?
Thanks
