[SOLVED] OC 5950x on asus rog VIII hero (need some clarification)

Hi,

I have noticed there are 2 places in my BIOS where i can configure PBO overclocking. (extreme tweaker and under advanced)

These in my eyes also look like the same settings, but i can configure those in extreme tweaker and in 'advanced' under amd overclocking.
What's up with this?
It doesn't seem like these settings are 'linked' to each other, because i can basically set different values for the same fields in 2 places.

So, what is the correct place to set these PBO overclocking values? In extreme tweaker or amd overclocking under advanced settings?

It was a bit confusing to me too on my TUF Gaming B550m PLUS...

The TWEAKER PBO settings on my board lacks the all-important Curve Optimizer settings for optimizing per-core V-F curves to improve processor performance while effectively undervolting. The settings under AMD OVERCLOCKING in ADVANCED does though, so that's the only place I set PBO.

Other than settings for CO it may not matter but do avoid making changes in both places as it could mix you up with unexpected results.

Yeah i guess that makes it easier for you, for me the undervolting options are in both places.
Weird really, i wonder why they implemented it like that, there must be a reason? haha

I've wondered if it's not a requirement that everything in the ADVANCED AMD Overclocking, PBS and CBS areas be presented in a certain way as required by AMD (hence the opt-in screen). But most mfr's wanted at least some of the overclocking options presented in their usual overclocking screens too...like Asus's aiTweaker screen. Brand identity, common interfaces and all that. It's just Asus's snide way of product segmentation to hide the CO settings on their screen for my down-market TUF B550 board (they also refuse to expose VRM temperature for monitoring). Must annoy them that AMD REQUIRES it on their screens.

But what doesn't make sense to me is why I can make changes in one area but it not appear in the other. Or worse is each area can have completely different values. I have to think the screens aren't even pulling data from the same CMOS settings fields. And still unknown...which fields have priority and when? That's why I use one screen only.
