I have a ROG STRIX X670E-I motherboard with Ryzen 9 7900 (not X).
I am not a gamer and use my pc mainly for rendering and video coding.
I like the Hive, because I enjoy the 65W low power consumption of the 7900 (with fans basically silent) for 90% of the time, and then when I need an extra boost for a few minutes during heavy workload, I just press the button on the Hive and go in PBO mode (and then release the button when the task is completed).
My question is related to the PBO profile that gets activated by pressing that button.
I noticed that it's basically a -10 Curve Optimizer with no limits on PPT/TDC/EDC (obviously the 95C temp limit applies).
No matter how I customize PBO in BIOS (e.g. I would like to use All Cores -15 CO or Per Core optimization), still that predefined -10 CO is used when I press the button. Moreover, releasing the PBO button does not bring back my customized PBO parameters, but rather removes PBO.
I have tried both the ASUS PBO and the AMD PBO, but the effect is the same: pressing the button on the Hive activates a standard -10 CO, no matter what I defined in the BIOS, and releasing the button removes PBO completely.
Is this behavior normal?
Is there a way I can customize the PBO parameters that are activated by the EZ PBO button on the Hive?
