    Hey Everyone I am glad this video has been helpful to everyone - I haven't found the time to post anything more yet this year even though I had every intention of doing so. I appreciate all the subs and I will post another video once I find the time!

    The only guy that actually made this process truly beginner friendly

    Best guide I have seen so far... better than big youtube channels guides.
  • @zlobaplays
    It's incredible how much important information and how many tips are in this video compared to any forum or written guide i read before. And that's 7 months later. Very well done and big THANK YOU! Subbed.
  • There isn’t a better video out for learning curve optimizer and PBo2. Thank you for making this video. I have had a 5800x for nearly 3 weeks now and tried multiple times at learning curve optimizer. Finally nailed it last night with your help. Thank you!

    Holy Crap! What a great presentation of AMD 5000 overclocking! Clear, concise, and high information content. Great job!
  • The best explanation I've come across by far, and I've spent HOURS looking! Far better than any of the so called big YoyTubers. Thank you so much!
  • @nachinoloco
    Great Guide, was looking for this for a long time. Very well explained! Thank you

    Wow, I always thought PBO was cool but after watching your video and playing around with the per core curve optimizer, I got a solid 12% performance bump over stock settings. All while getting lower idle temps. This was a game changer. Also, the BIOS update that I needed for this had AGESA 1.2.0.0 and I was able to run my Infinity Clock at 2000MHz at 1:1:1 with some DDR4-4000 RAM. System has never run so well!

    I've looked for information about pbo2 by reading/watching guides, none of wich were as detailed as yours, hats off sir :)

    Found this video by accident and I was really positively surprised by the level of knowldege and effort you put into this video. Thanks for the work man and good luck with your channel. Greetings from Germany.

    This is probably one of the easiest videos to watch that I've ever seen on YouTube. Absolutely perfectly laid out, and any questions that popped into my head were answered a few seconds in the video. Much better than any of the "top" tech YouTubers.. I just got my 5800x today and only heard about curve optimizer a few hours ago. So I just went into the BIOS and set all cores to -30, did a few runs of Cinebench but nothing too stressful, and I arrived here because I was looking for a way to lower the curve optimizer further! Suppose I'd better do some more stress tests and then mess with some other settings..
  • By FAR the best overview of how to do the curve optimizer in PBO 2.
  • I don’t like videos, god forbid comment. I watched your video and closed the app. Then I thought about your video and all the incredible data you had spent days pouring effort into to share with us. And then I reopened YT dug this video of my watch history and came back to like and comment, and even subscribed. The quality of this video and explanation of its data; is, simply put, incredible.

    Thanks a lot, you did a great job covering the points. One of the issues I had was crashing and trying to identify which core it was. I had no idea I could find the apic id from cpu-z, which I don't think was covered in any of the guides I had watched.
  • @moadvanoffut
    Really great guide because it's perfectly balanced between simple and advanced concepts. Great job!
  • @radiantav
    Excellent video. There are no short solutions, only patient advance through small adjustments. Great tip about finding which APIC ID crashed.
  • @zevchenko329
    Man this is one of the best tech videos I have ever watched, thanks a lot!
  • @Lawson7086
    This is the best PB02 guide on the internet hands down, thank you very much really helped me understand PBO2 and get the very best out of my 5800x, Subscribed!
  • @CanopusInfinity
    You've provided the best explanation across the web, and I can't thank you enough. I've been trying to understand the logic behind the PBO curve optimizer and this guide is quite helpful.
