I actually turned on the PBO optimization myself since I wanted that for gaming. I don't think Asrock's goal is to win those reviews since it wasn't even on by default. The motherboard model is B550 Extreme4 so budget chipset and nothing fancy. Mostly I picked it for the minimal but apparently sufficient information that ECC is supported and the interface options. I should really take some time to test the system a little more to see where the clock speeds get up to and how the temperature behaves. Also as I have the commercial memtest86, it should be possible to inject ECC errors with it. I just haven't tried that yet.
