Up until a few days ago I was using PBO and experimenting with the curve optimizer on my 5800X.
It may just be my specific motherboard (MSI MEG Unfiy x570) or beta BIOS but PBO if left at auto was resulting in quite high voltage on all core clocks. I would see all cores boost to 4.7Ghz then quickly step down to 4.55Ghz with 1.365V being applied to all 8 cores. AIDA64 stability test would show hardware errors about 30 minutes in
I now have 4.75Ghz set with 1.275V and see much lower temperatures (gaming max 60c, benchmark 78c) and no issues with AIDA64 though only stress tested for a couple of hours
4.8Ghz I tried 1.2870V but this crashed Cinebench R20. Closer to 1.3 V may be needed for 4.8Ghz+ which I expect will result in a lot high temperatures too
I'll test PBO2 when the new BIOS' are released but manual OC seems a lot more stable than default auto PBO
