I just want to ask a personal question?

So I have a 2600X system that I OC'ed to 4.075Ghz (wish I could hit that 4.1 but can't expect much on a $55 air cooler and Prime B450 Board) paired with an OC'ed DDR4 3133 16GB Dual-Channel Kit. It is stable for game but when I use it to render 1080p 60Fps Video on Davinci Resolve 15 on 50% or higher rendering speed, it crashes quickly. I could just switch and tweak the bios when I choose to game or render but I feel like it will be too much of a hassle. 1080P video renders smoothly and cleanly when I go 25% render speed but I can't do anything between 25 and 50 which kinda sucks. It takes an extra 8-9 minutes to render from 25 compared to 50 and when compared to 100, takes 15-16 minutes longer. Would losing 10-15 minutes of time to render be a problem for you guys or would you just stick to the same overclocks without changing the bios a lot every time?

I stick to the overclock I have and don't change it (unless I overclock higher). I'm willing to wait for my giga-shit CPU to render my 1080p60 videos because I have the comfort of knowing that the video will look good. I don't even try to speed up my render times, I render at the highest 1080p60 presets. Since my rendering takes a little bit, I usually just go do something else while I'm waiting.

Have you tried PBO since you have a b450 board and an X variant CPU? I get good clock speeds just enabling that rather than overclocking and I managed to hit 4.2 on all cores when overclocking.
