Precision Boost Overdrive
Precision Boost Overdrive
When this item is enabled, it allows the processor to run beyond defined values for
PPT, VDD_CPU EDC, VDD_CPU TDC, VDD_SOC EDC, VDD_SOC TDC to the limits
of the board, and allows it to boost at higher voltages for longer durations than default
operation.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled] [Manual]
The following items appear only when Precision Boost Overdrive is set to [Manual].
PBO Limits
[Auto] Loads AMD default socket power (PPT), electrically-limited VRM
current (EDC), and thermally-limited VRM current (TDC) limits.
[Disable] Disabled PBO limits.
[Motherboard] Allows the processor to run according to increased PPT, EDC, and
TDC limits defined by your motherboard.
[Manual] Allows the processor to ignore AMD default limits for PPT, EDC, and
TDC and instead use manual values (up to the maximum capabilities
of the motherboard).
The following items appear only when PBO Limits is set to [Manual].
PPT Limit [mW]
Adjust total CPU socket power delivery capability. Adjustable up to the limit supported
bu your motherboard.
TDC Limit [mA]
Adjust peak current from your motherboard’s CPU core VRM phases in thermally-
limited scenarios. Adjustable up to the limit supported by you motherboard.
EDC Limit [mA]
Adjust peak current from your motherboard’s CPU core VRM phases in electrically-
limited scenarios. Adjustable up to the limit supported by you motherboard.
Precision Boost Overdrive Scalar Ctrl
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
The following item appears only when Precision Boost Overdrive Scalar Ctrl is set to
[Manual].
Precision Boost Overdrive Scalar
Overrides the AMD default silicon health management to potentially achieve higher
sustained frequencies under CPU load.
Configuration options: [1X] - [10X]
CPU Boost Clock Override
Increases (Positive) or Decreases (Negative) the maximum CPU frequency that may
be automatically achieved by the CPU Boost Algorithm.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled (Positive)] [Enabled (Negative)]
