Subject: Several questions about overclocking - x470 Taichi

the 2700X is very hard to overclock avg only have 100mhz over stock boost
you are better off tuning the memory side of the system to get performance rather than higher cpu clock speeds
i overclock all my previous cpus because it was fun buying the cheapest similar spec cpu and overclock it over the expensive variant.
manual overclocking means changing multipler and bclk whatever changes made here usually means its locked to that final clock. Lets say you ended up overclocking to 4.3ghz it stays there (i could be wrong because i totally gave up OCing 2700x)
pbo just lets it work like stock and rely on boost as for me my cpu already does 4.3 out of the box and it has the low power state intact. you can improve better mixing both pbo and bclk while keeping turbo and cnq working.
difference
manual all cores ends up at a clock speed lets say 4.3ghz
pbo all cores goes up and down depending on load & temps
whatever you do dont use windows to update your bios
