The curve optimizer basically lowers the voltage curve, leaving the cpu to have more headroom to boost to higher clocks because it is using less power and producing less heat.
One thing you have to watch out for is clock stretching where the clocks appear higher but your benchmark scores are lower. So sometimes you may need to back down the CO if you experience this.
The other thing about maximizing performance on ryzen (at least for the non 3d versions) is higher ram clocks. Trying to get the highest ram clocks with a 1:1 ratio with the infinity fabric will net you better gaming performance.
You can also try a lower PPT like 180w/230w/300w along with a boost override of +150/200. For whatever reasons, certain combos of PPT/Boost override sometimes clock higher than just setting everything to max. No clue why (probably AMD's algorithm) but a lot of times that is the case, just something else to try.
