pbo2 Does Gigabyte B450M-K Support PBO2 for Ryzen 5 5600G

[AlloyJohn29]

I am building my first pc and I watched videos that it is better to underclock using PBO2 to get maximum efficiency.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600G

2x8GB 3600Mhz

I'm stuck on choosing between MSI A520M-A Pro and Gigabyte B450M-K.

Which of these support PBO2 and its curve optimization? Thanks guys, would be a big help!

Budget?

Country?

Uses?

 

Apus are next to useless with the existence of used <50$ polaris rx 570/580 4gb which will give much better performance than a crappy vega 7 igpu even if you run the rams with an ideal dual rank 4600 ddr4 config

 

and even for low budgets like <500$ you can build a gaming powerhouse with a little bit of looking around on the used market. For reference here in indonesia i can build a ryzen 5500 + 6700xt based pc for around 500$ with used parts (which im planning to build soon, you can cut that down quite abit more with 16gb of ram, no case, etc.)

My build is

Cpu Ryzen 5 5600g

Gpu RX 580 2048sp

2x8 16GB 3600Mhz

250GB Nvme Ssd

1tb hdd

550Watts Psu

 

I'm from the Philippines. Sorry forgot to put the Gpu

The reason I'm asking this because I am undervolting my proc and gpu so that it won't overload my PSU while still maintaining high performance. Mainly for gaming.

Wait do you already have the parts or no?

and whats the budget in php and usd?

 

SEA country so buncha china stuff available for cheap that generally outcompetes the more expensive western brands yet provide similar quality/performance. ask me how i know (im in indo)

 

Not advisable to pay over 40$ on a case with all the cheap airflow options available (some even got 3/4 incl rgb fans)

 

Used market here in indo has decent deals on gpus, psus, and mobos so focus on those when buying used, ive looked on philipines shopee before and i do see some used stuff and also the cheap china stuff

Yes I have all except the Motherboard, my case is Big but not too big.

I have 6 fans, 4 intake and 2 exhaust.

I boughtt everything brand new for just $500 total with shopee discounts haha. But I do not want to consume much electricity so I was thinking to undervolt my cpu and gpu.

I only use it around 4 hours everynight too.

For 500$ pretty meh but oh well

 

as for mobo just go look at whatever used b3/450 boards are available, lowend giga b3/450 have barren bioses so i would avoid those especially for tuning, look for a used asus asrock or msi board

 

As for undervolting you can actually get rx 580 to consume around 100w if you run em at .85v 1100 core (always overclock vram), cpu wise maybe just set vcore 1.25v with medium/no llc, should be able to do somewhere around 4.5ghz allcore

Yes but will it do it well? No.

What do you mean by it won't do well?

I'm thinking to use its Curve optimizer and set it by -30 or higher as what the tutorial indicates.

Those boards are made for stock 65W operations, and are pretty current limited in VRM design. Youre open to try but you might need to get creative with cooling the VRM. By that point you should spend the extra right now to get a solid board if possible.

Okay, thanks so much for this!
