I would like peoples thoughts on my Ryzen 3900X set up and bios config please.
I am totally new to modern PCs but have built in the past (20+ years ago now).
I followed and searched for as much info as I could before my build. That went flawlessly, first time test boot outside the case, first time boot when built etc. I know that I am Very raw, and I am looking for support and advice please.
My usage is the usual day-to-day usage and gaming, I am not looking for any mad overclock but do want the best performance that can be expected with regular adjustments in the bios.

latest Bios on Gigabyte site F50, latest chipset on Gigabyte site [19.10.16]
Ryzen Balanced Power plan selected in Win 10.
I Loaded optimized BIOS settings
Enabled XMP
Set Control Performance Boost to auto
In Performance Boost Overdrive there are four settings - I chose Advanced as that gave the best results
Disable, Auto, Enable and Advanced in the Gigabyte Aorus X470 gaming 7 Wi-Fi Rev 1.1 BIOS
During all of these tests the temperature rises to 72c, but settles very quickly back to 41 - 45c at the desktop
Here are my speed results for Cinebench R20, R15 and CPU-Z Benchmark, in each case the multithread results are shown first
Lastly the peak speeds as shown in HWMonitor and Ryzen Master using Advanced setting in PBO.

My questions are these -
Have I got the correct settings as per the currently accepted reasoning amongst those that know?
If not where have I gone wrong please? I have not used the PBO setting within Ryzen Master as my logic says that I have already enabled that in the bios. I see Ryzen Master as a simple means of making adjustments without the need to enter the bios, but if you have them set in the bios then there is no need to use Ryzen Master apart from monitoring, yes?
Why do I see max speed differently between HWMonitor and Ryzen Master of around 200 - 250MHz? I expected some variation but not as high a figure as this.
I know that 72c isn't great and plan to put a second Noctua fan on the cooler at the end of the week and saving for either a 280 or 360 AIO. At desktop, it will be 41 - 45c.
According to HWMonitor I have two cores that reach 4.599 yet in Ryzen Master I barely reach 4.300, that to me doesn't sound right.
It has just passed memtest86, latest version, 4 full passes with zero errors reported.
Thanks for any help or advice that any of you can offer and apologies for the length of this post (I can be quite verbose)
