Well, nice software, completely useless.
Why so harsh?
Well, it puts the CPU in "Manual Overclocking" mode, meaning single threaded gets cut down to whatever is the "maximum" for all-threads.
My somewhat bad 3700X which in single threaded reaches 4350 with occasional blips to 4400 gets forcibly limited to 4125 by the manual settings.
Yes, it can run 4100+4125 when using all 8 cores, but that use case for me is once in a blue moon.
Cinebench ^UP
Other softwre vDOWN
----
So, NO THANK YOU.
Back to PBO.
Same here, seems it's working poorly with 3700X.
Try PBO combined with (-)offset vcore and give it a try with 0.05V, then lower even more, step by step. I would't go lower than -0.100V as it sacrifices max boost because the voltage is too low. In my case it worked best with -0.0875V, as -0.1V was giving 4.55GHz boost. I suppose -0.05V to -0.0625V will work best for you.
if you have already tried this - just ignore my post.

I did, my CPU doesn't like -offset, it just crashes.
It's a dud, basically, but a dud that works at default settings (or with PBO, but not making much difference or at all)
But in any case, Default/PBO that allows 1-2 threads to work at (almost) the box frequency (4.4) is better than 0.05 more than default at all cores, while losing 0.3 at single threaded.
The stuff I do is mostly single/low threaded.
----
The CPU was a major upgrade compared to the old 4-core/4-thread (i5) which I had, so no complaints, even if I know I got a dud from the perspective of overclocking.
Even better, it was 100% free, as a gift from my employer ^.^, so free dud better than no CPU at all
Will upgrade to Zen3 anyway in a few months.

My system always reboots in #step2 after the first Cinebench run. :s

wierd if this tool is realy reducing single core perfomance what's the point of it
I mean games need highest possible single core performance to secure highest possible FPS instead of highest possible multicore performance right?
