ASROCK X570 TAICHI - THE RYZEN 3000 MOTHERBOARD GIBBO & 8 PACK RECOMMENDS

Has anyone managed to get PBO to work on this board?

Mine was broken with my 3900X and continues to be broken on 5900X.

I'm ready to bin this board now. All core boost clocks are terrible with my 5900X.

I can get great single core boosts on my 5900X, hitting 5.15ghz! But all core boosts suck, the best I've managed is 4.25ghz which is way down on what others have seen.

I'm tinkering with curve optimiser but it isn't very understandable or predictable.
 
OK Zen3 and the Taichi have got some plus points:

IF is stable at 1900mhz and RAM seems to be a lot more stable.
Curve optimiser does something, slowly figuring out what. It appears to be a per core undervolt which let's you push the power budget further under all core.

To sort out:

PBO does work in a fashion, single core boosts can go really high.
I have always been stuck with a 144W power limit no matter my settings. Meaning clocks are poor and I have thermal headroom. I simply can't get round this without doing a manual overclock.

Edit:

Damn! I tell a lie. I've cracked it. I put manual values in for the PBO limits (just 400) for everything and I'm there! 180W power usage and nearly 4.4ghz all core! Yes!

Interesting....may give this a go.

No matter what I set I can not get my CPU to draw more than 110-115w. Would you mind sharing a photo of your PBO screen in the BIOS? Would be much appreciated.
 
So I have set the SOC on the BIOS at 1.100v, however Ryzen Master is reading it as 1.200v. If I check on HWiNFO64, it reads as 1.094v (I know voltage can be slightly off). Is Ryzen Master wrong then? In the past it has always matched what I set it to be.

If you up the IF speed the board will automatically set 1.2V.

If you check in the voltage section of the BIOS there is an option to set SOC voltage. If you change that it will override the auto setting.

Changing the SOC voltage in the main OC page doesn't seem to override the auto setting.

That is what I did. I have it set to 1.100v and 1 LLC, I always had it like that. However Ryzen Master says it is 1.200v when I open it, and HWINFO64 says 1.094 (technically 1.100v). So I dont know which one to believe.
