Anyone have any idea when this board will be released? reviewers have it, so the chances could be soon maybe?? I love the new option of being able to keep the "boost" ability even while setting a static OC... that option alone sold me on this board...

AFAIK they are in the SMU options deep in AMD CBS.. lemme reboot and check.
EDIT: AMD CBS, NBIO common options, SMU common options.
APBDIS - 1 = fixed IF P-state; 0 = dynamic IF P-state, use 1
Fixed SOC P-state - P0 highest power, P3 min power, use P0
DF State - Disable = do not allow IF to go into low power state.
For me these changes make a noticeable difference in desktop responsiveness.

Thank you very much. That actually helped. The mouse no longer stutters. There are so many option in the bios that I dont understand. Usually on the Intel side I just set it and forget it. With Amd seems you have to do some tweaking to get it running at optimal performance. Wish someone did a video or some sort of instructional on how to optimize performance in the bios. Bios options wayyy out of my paygrade lol. Thanks and much appreciated.

Is that how they're named in Asus BIOS, or in Gigabyte BIOS? I've just checked my saved bios .txt file and whilst I can find "APBDIS = AUTO" in my file, I can't find anything for SOC P-state. I do see an entry for "DF CState = AUTO".

In both, but I think with Gigabyte once you set APBDIS to 1 the SOC P-State becomes visible

Ah, it's because it's "Fixed SOC Pstate" not "Fixed SOC P-State". So when I searched for "P state" and "P-state" it couldn't find anything!
Runs fine at stock clocks here, no issues to report.
5900X/Dark Hero
Don´t use it, it´s bugged. CCD and IOD voltages can not be set above 1V.

Hi guys!
PBO 2 Settings for my ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero paired with one Ryzen 9 5950x and Corsair H150i Capellix as Aio?
Please help me, because yesterday I have obtained only 10350 pts on CB20
MY ram are 3600 fclk 1800
Thank you in advance

Please could you share pictures of your bios settings to get those results on a ryzen 5800x?
Maybe I'm nitpicking but I'm considering replacing my 5950X because it's a mediocre launch day sample...or is it?
This is with BIOS 3901, 4x8GB DOCP 3800MHz CL14 (no WHEA), cooled with Liquid Freezer II 360.
PBO set to Auto/Advanced, everything else untouched and left on Auto.
![Rectangle Font Material property Screenshot Parallel]()
Single core is nowhere near what I've seen in reviews, 675-700pts. The Guru3D sample also scored 12300+ in multi threaded but it must've been with some PBO tweaking.
Anyways, my scores are very inconsistent, reinstalled the chipset drivers, reboot and got 666/11700pts, another reboot, 651/11500, 648/11200 and so on. Temps are far from thermal throttling limits.
When I enable PBO I get 'nonsense' results, with PBO Enabled + Limits "Motherboard" I get 580/10300.

I am on BIOS 3801, 2x16GB DOCP 3600MHz CL16 with a Liquid Freezer II 360. (AMD offset mount using Arctic's recommended Performance fan curve.) PBO only set to Enabled under the AMD section of the BIOS, the rest of the BIOS is default other than DOCP. Hydra rated my CPU as Bronze for reference. Also, this is on Win11 22000.194.
Just for reference. I ran that test last night on my 5950x/dark and got a score of 648 single and 11500 multi. This is on bios 3204. PBO off. 3600 CL 16 ram 1:1 flck. Basically everything default except memory on DOCP. I don't bother with PBO because I don't feel the gains out weight the heat/voltage it uses to get those gains. Perhaps when chips are easier to get I might start pushing it.
Well, I just installed a brand new batch 5950X, enabled XMP and PBO and I think this one is much stronger...690/13100. CCD temp delta is a lot lower as well.
Let's see what CTR says about this one.
+
Reset the CMOS, so RAM at 2133 CL15 and everything on AUTO: 687/11965.
Just ran CTR, NEW on the left, OLD on the right:
![Computer Font Screenshot Software Electronic device]()
Re-ran CPU-Z without activating any CTR profiles, 691/12157. Gave it another reboot, got 692.8/12160 this is fully stock, no XMP or anything.
It really looks like newer batches are either better or I got lucky, or both....or they degrade LOL

Another data point - 5950X, Dark Hero, 2xG.Skill 16GB 3200MHz CL14, DOCP, 1:1fclk, BIOS 3901 beta - CPUz single 651.2, multi 12,425. I am going to reset CMOS to get a baseline. I am still trying to figure out whether to use the PBO and associated settings in the Asus Extreme Tweaker section or the AMD section of the BIOS. An Asus rep posted on the ROG forum to use the Extreme Tweaker section. There are conflicting posts on OC.net - some say using the Extreme Tweaker section works better, others swear only the AMD section works properly. Why does Asus put PBO and other settings in 2 different places in the BIOS? As if there aren't enough settings to worry about, now we have to guess which section to use.
CTR - I have not tried CTR or Hydra yet. I do follow at Patreon and these programs are still pretty buggy IMHO. It seems that Yuri has abandoned CTR to develop Hydra. He just released Hydra 1.0B and then a patch file to fix a GPU read problem. Martin778 may I ask why you are using CTR instead of Hydra? Also, did it get you stable, usable CO results?

Never heard about hydra, gonna try it out!
Used CTR mostly to check the CPU.
I think this so called golden sample might actually be a dud in the end....it won't boot 3800MHz IF no matter what. Old one does 1:1 3800MHz 24/7 without WHEA.

Well I'll be damned...reinstalled the old CPU, 690.8/12258???
