I wanted to do some more testing with my PBO set to -30 and kept my clock speed set to the default value. I'm surprised how good the temperatures were despite the fact I ran this longer than I wanted. I've improved my performance without adding Boost Clock Override and had to correct a few issues that I've been dealing with on windows that was causing some performance issues. I've found out that after upgrading to this CPU from the 7800X3D, my OS was stuck with hypervisor and iGPU enabled, even though they were disabled in the Bios. I ran DDU to remove my GPU drivers, reinstalled the drivers and updated my chipset driver in the process. I had to reenable the iGPU and SVM in Bios, boot into windows and disable them again in the Bios. (This fixed the issue). This is a mildly debloated windows and I'm running my power plan at Ultimate Performance. These benchmark scores were done on the new MSI 2.AA3 Bios (AGESA 1.3.0.0.), except for my personal best Time Spy overall score.
