Strange AMD 3000 overclocking behavior

[iajadsfa]

For 2 years now, I have been running a Ryzen 5 3600 non x, Tuf X570-Pro motherboard, GTX 1060 turbo, vengeance 3200mhz 32gb(4x8), and RM750. I have been overclocking almost since day 1 and having used both windows 10,11, and popos and I've noticed some unusual behavior in my overclocking adventure. Now I was very lucky with my cpu and was able to acheive 4.2ghz all core at 1.31 volts, 4.375ghz at 2.325 volts, 2core 4.4ghz at 1.334 volts, and 4.5ghz single core on widows 10. I have abandoned going over 4.2ghz since I had issues with certain applications refusing to work even if the system was stable. Strangely enough, on popos I was able to achieve 4.2ghz all core at only 1.22volts. This was completely stable and I was able to run an 8k 3000 sample cycles blender render no problems. Can anybody explain such a large difference?

Stable doesnt mean you actually have that performance. Benchmark it

I will definitely benchmark it tomorrow. However, in windows, it will not even boot if I tried the linux overclock on it. would there be any reason for this?

PopOs is a hell of a lot lighter then windows. Windows has become quite bloated and other various things that make it a bit more difficult to say why it causes issues.

I am way too lazy to benchmark this but I definitely agree that windows has more bloat. Anyways, thanks
