How does it boost so high?
My 2700x only boosts to 4GHz. I have a Prime Pro x370 and a DH-NH14.
Yes depending on load gaming wise.

Thats decent! Maybe due to less cores allowing more headroom for all core clock?
Does it maintain that in cinebench?

Blimey! And that's at stock not OC'd?
It sounds like you have 'Core Performance Boost' turned on. Only puzzling thing is my X370 board doesn't have the setting. So would be very unlikely that a b350 would have it.
But it sounds like it's temp related.
The 2700x really is quite a nice chip out the box.
Thats decent!
Does it maintain that in cinebench?
4016mhz all cores using cinebench.
Its default.
XFR2 just makes OC a thing of the past for me.
max temp is 58C as far and that may be with offset for ryzen also.
I used that initially, with just changing the stress distribution to memory as much as I could leaving everything else on default I got 8% boost. But later on I just enabled XFR on the bios and now my pc boosts to 4.300+ on all cores when needed. Dont think I will need to OC the chip for a while.
Anyone else got a CH7 mobo, where is PBO setting? I did not see this anywhere, all I found was the XFR (unless this is anotehr name for it?)

The chip it's self is great.
What they've done with the auto overclocking features is pretty impressive.
What is a little less impressive is still ram.
It's not as plug and play as it should be.
Maybe x470 is much better but I'm finding it hard to recommend a 2700x over an 8700k to a friend as the Ryzen platform is for tinkerers not for someone who doesn't have the interest or knowhow to stability test.
They just want it to work out of the box.
It's an enthusiast platform through and through.

If you want an intel like experience then just burn £50 and buy Ryzen anyway
Jokes aside - should be plug and play with DDR4 @ 2666
Ask me a week ago since ryzen first came out I would have 100% gone with them no doubt. But as someone actually wants to tinker in the bios for no more than ten mins, turn on xmp and a quick and easy safe over lock and then never go in the bios again I don't know if ryzen is for me. Which is a shame as I think it's an amazing piece of kit. Maybe I would have to wait for am4 last lot of boards and CPUs for that, or even am5. But if I was in the market for a new pc I may go for intel.

I slipped a 2700x into a spare Taichi X370 with Crucial 8gb 3200 ram, 970 gfx card, set optimised defaults in the bios, selected DOCP profile and it's been humming along perfectly, no crashes or hiccups and XFR working as it should. Including a windows install, I don't think I spent more than 2hrs on the build before I turned it over to the kids.
What bios is that on?
Im on 4.40 now as ive read all the newer bios have been a bit on the buggy side and my 1800x has been rock solid on this bios.
