Hey there! Let's talk about your setup and the issues you're facing. You've got a solid hardware stack—Ryzen 7 5800X, RX 6800XT, decent RAM, a good PSU, and Windows 11. Everything was up to date, which is great. Back then, you focused mainly on GPU tuning and kept BIOS settings simple, just leaving DOCP as the only change.

Time Spy gave you surprising results even then. Your graphics scores were lower than others with similar configurations, but your games ran smoothly—only 3DMark was a bit of a challenge. You didn’t bother with it. So when you tried to tweak Adrenaline, you managed to hit around 20k in Time Spy, while your best score was 18k, despite identical settings.

Recently, your friend built the same system and achieved a 20k score in Time Spy, which was impressive. That made you wonder about the impact of PBO (Performance Boost). Some people suggested it might be the culprit, and that disabling auto-PBO could help. You tried switching it to manual, but it still crashed every time.

After some research, you found mixed opinions online. A few users mentioned PBO could interfere, and turning it off manually worked for them. Since your PC performed well across other benchmarks—Userbenchmark, Cinebench, Heaven, Prime95—it seems stable overall.

If you're asking whether your PC is stable with Time Spy, the answer is yes, but there are still some hiccups. For PBO settings, it seems safer to leave it enabled unless you notice any instability.

In short: your system looks solid, and the crashs seem more related to specific benchmarks than general performance. Just keep an eye on PBO behavior and avoid aggressive tuning unless you're comfortable with the risks.
