So when I do the auto curve optimizer, what offsets would be considered good to get? Currently I got a -28 offset on all cores on a 5800x and I honestly just don’t know what it really means or does.

So I have done about 9-12 hours extensive testings.

You WILL have to know your max PPT, TDC, EDC else this is just waste of time doing it and you will just be using default values which give you more aggressive under-volt than you might had opted before manually before using this.
Make sure to set those values in bios before moving on else you will just see default values in there no matter if you pick auto oc, or pbo, this was the case at least for me it would not pickup anything else than default values in software until manually set in bios.
So go to bios set values for those and set everything else on auto in PBO menu.
Verify and run a test just to verify settings are applied like on this screenshot, you don't have to run a full test if your settings where not added correct, go back and do it again.
My 5900X can handle these
PPT 185
TDC 125
EDC 170

Setup
5900X B0 Stepping early unit, not first week tho.
Asus x570-I ITX - Bios 4204 with AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b
3080 FE
16GB F4-3600C15-8GTZ
SF600
All in a loque ghost s1 case with some vector EK cooling setup on all parts.
All this was done by upgrading to latest bios, resetting bios to make sure no old values was stock and I only touched RAM timings with and dram voltage and PPT, TDC, EDC, PBO scalar x10, overclock 200mhz, rest was injected by ryzen masters into the bios settings after hitting apply.
Overall AMD have done a amazing job with this, even noobs can overclock and undervolt proper now 10/10 AMD clap clap
Do you wish to do it your self grab latest version here

My 5800x is so crap it bootlooped with whatever new RM injected into the BIOS. It even reset the computer while just browsing after I increased the CO values a touch.
New RM were suggesting between -12 to -23 for most of my cores, and I'm beginning to suspect my best cores can't handle the undervolting. I've now put -15 for all cores except for my best two (left them alone) and it seems to be ok after a couple hours of Elden ring and browsing.
I ran a percore and it just set every core to -30 for my 5800X which it can't do as it just bluescreened within 15min of using Chrome.
AMD should post a video guide with best practices on how to use this feature.
I find it really odd that they just dropped a major feature like this without any proper explanation.
Lately I've been toying up with PBO2 with my 5600X. I tried a quick and dirty all-core -18 and I noticed some instability (mainly in Hogwarts Legacy but also in Genshin) so I decided to try and use Ryzen Master and its auto curve optimizer. Chose to test per-core and after a hour of testing it came back with a -30 on all six cores. Is it really possible? Is it a bug? Am I misinterpreting what the software is saying to me?
For now the system seems stable but I've yet to test it with a longer session. On Cinebench R23 I lost a couple hundred points (~11.000 vs ~10.800) and it seems it doesn't like to go over 4,2/4,3 GHz but the system is whisper quiet and I can go a full run of multicore Cinebench and you wouldn't know it's running.
Ran both per core and all core curve optimizer in Ryzen Master and both came back -30 for all and per core. Is that good or bad? I see a lot of people posting they can't do any offset and others saying they can only do a little. It's Ryzen 9 7900X.
So first thanks to the few tips on the hardware choices, my terra build worked first time. 7900x, in eco mode, 32gb 6000mhz ram and a 6700x. All expertly built by my 9 year old, it was fun teaching about building computers.
I want to ask about this Ryzen tool that is supposed to automatically curve optimize. My system was stable in eco 105w mode, memory clocked at 6000mhz and the temps are cool - the heat sink cool to touch and ~40oC idle, all nice.
After the optimization finished I had to apply the settings it suggested -36. This made a bsod boot loop immediately after the sign in screen, kmode exception not handled. I had to clear CMOS to get back.
I confess even in my experience of 20+ years I've never really overclocked, I favor stability and don't like to push it if it's fast enough already. As I understand these curve optimizer settings aren't overclocking, but running at peak efficiency.
So what is the problem, the suggested settings are just way off? Do I even need curve optimization? I'm interested in cooler temps without changing the cooling solution and power efficiency.
I also read that we should have done curve optimization with a clear bios, I had eco mode (105w) and expo enabled in the bios?
