While we had issues with Ryzen Master and getting Precision Boost Overdrive to work on during our Threadripper 2990WX and 2950X Review, we are already working on all of that again with a solid overclocking follow-up for the 2950X. Until then, head over to see Robert Hallock lay out Precision Boost Overdrive in 3 Easy Steps. And remember when we were telling you that PBO was not part of the last launch, and a bunch of folks called us crazy? Well, nana nana booboo, stick your head in doodoo.
Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) is a powerful new feature of the 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ CPUs.1 Much like traditional overclocking, PBO is designed to improve multithreaded performance. But unlike traditional overclocking, Precision Boost Overdrive preserves all the automated intelligence built into a smart CPU like Ryzen: Precision Boost 2 remains enabled for on-demand performance, XFR 2 still enables higher performance with better cooling, and the CPU still lowers clocks and voltages to save power at idle.
