MSI has recently rolled out a groundbreaking BIOS feature called PBO BCLK Booster for its AM5 platform 800 series MAX motherboards. This innovative function is designed to significantly improve the performance of AMD Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series processors in both gaming and application scenarios, all through a simple one-click overclocking solution.
The PBO BCLK Booster takes full advantage of the integrated BCLK generator found in MAX series motherboards, allowing users to achieve performance enhancements that can reach as high as 15% in specific gaming scenarios. This makes it a noteworthy upgrade for gamers seeking every possible edge.
Compatibility and Configuration
The PBO BCLK Booster is not limited to just the latest 800 series MAX motherboards; it also supports other models, including the B850M POWER and high-end MEG X870E GODLIKE motherboards. Users can conveniently select and activate this feature in the BIOS where two configuration profiles are offered: PBO BCLK Booster 1 and PBO BCLK Booster 2.
For instance, when using the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, Profile 1 adjusts the BCLK to 103 MHz while Profile 2 raises it to 105 MHz. Importantly, when this feature is enabled, the CPU voltage remains in an auto state, ensuring stability during operation.
Notable Performance Gains
Recent data indicates substantial improvements when using the PBO BCLK Booster compared to default CPU configurations. Key performance metrics include:
- Doom: Dark Ages: Up to 15% performance boost
- Cyberpunk 2077: 6% performance increase
- Metro: Exodus: Performance uplift of 5%
- Far Cry 6: Enhanced performance by 7%
These results illustrate the tangible benefits of MSI’s innovative overclocking technology.
Enhanced Features
Moreover, users can pair the PBO BCLK Booster with MSI’s X3D Gaming Mode function, further unlocking the potential of their CPUs. This combination creates an even more powerful setup for gaming and high-performance applications.
Currently, the PBO BCLK Booster is accessible in BETA form within the AGESA 1.2.0.3G BIOS version, with a full official launching expected in version 1.2.7.0.
Conclusion
With the launch of the PBO BCLK Booster, MSI positions itself at the forefront of gaming motherboard innovation. This feature stands out by allowing users to easily unlock additional performance from their AMD CPUs, making it an invaluable tool for enthusiasts and gamers alike.
