Ryzen "2" ?

Ok if you mean the modes are actually operational by default then yes they stock enabled. I assume these two modes dont breach TDP spec right?

New stuff to learn here. :)

From the Stilt's article, he tested with UHQ Samsung B-die if I'm not mistaken.
While the changes to the memory controller in Pinnacle Ridge do provide lower latency, unfortunately the highest achievable memory frequency seems to be exactly the same as on Summit and Raven Ridge parts. A realistic expectation would be 3400 - 3533MHz depending on the silicon quality, the motherboard and the DRAM modules used. Some CPU specimens featuring an exceptional memory controller might be able to reach 3600MHz while maintaining true stability, however all of the tested 2700X samples were limited to 3400 - 3533MHz on both Crosshair VII Hero and MSI B350I PRO AC motherboards, regardless of the settings or the memory modules used. The stability was determined using “Ram Test” utility, which obviously sets the bar for stability a lot higher than the tests methods other reviewers typically use to deem the memory as “stable” at certain frequency.

On the tested samples, the distribution of the maximum achievable memory frequency was following:

  • 3400MHz – 12.5% of the samples
  • 3466MHz – 25.0% of the samples
  • 3533MHz – 62.5% of the samples
 
Probably not on by default on some mobos, but the AGESA microcode AMD sends to ODMs has it enabled, with the default limit being 140W, as per The Stilt.
AMD can setup AGESA however they want it's still up to Asus, Giga, MSI etc how they setup bios, and some of them give warning when you want to turn it on the function (my guess the rest will follow). Also there is a lot of information that PBO is at default/auto, but what does it mean as Asus PE has 4 stages and to have enhancement on you have to have it on level 3.
 
is that data backwards? the higher frequency has a higher % working.

I'm assuming this is the CPU's ability to run higher performance RAM - which will likely be something like a bell shaped curve with a small number of CPUs with very poor ability i.e. can't manage more than 3400MHz then a broad cross section that can manage around 3400-3500MHz and then a smaller number again that can manage ~3600MHz.

4.5Ghz.

Most reviewers got 4.3Ghz just by setting everything on auto and upping the clock multi, Guru3D got 4.4Ghz that way, its not surprising that with a bit of work fine tuning 4.5Ghz is in reach on a good board.

Yeah but read the thread from that post and you need to mess with the base clock that can lead to all kinds of stability problems and adds latency. Ok for getting high benching numbers but for myself I would stick to the auto method and get a fast rams kit as that seems to be the way to go for better 24/7 settings.

Yes but don't forget it's single threaded loads there, it's still using the same boost rules of less threads higher frequency.

Ryzen 2 doesn't need to be any faster Multithreaded, it already runs way out in front there, it does need a little bit in single threaded to catch up with Intel.

If you can overclock individual cores differently or set boost speeds? it is how i would run it.

This. He might as well just of put 1.6v through it going look at me.
 
the VII is a new board. they have a few tweaks but if you've already got a good x370 board it will be fine.

I've got a Asus MAXIMUS VIII IMPACT Socket 1151 ITX with 6700K, looking at a new build in a bigger case.

I don't need to upgrade right now, so if there's a reason to wait, but I've already narrowed down my case choice - I'll transfer my Titan X Pascal, but I could consider selling the ITX board, cpu, memory, rad and pump/res with ITX case...
