What does PBO do?
You're testing different settings on your Asus X570-I with the Noctua NH-C14s and Noctua PBO driver. Your benchmark scores remain consistent across configurations, but cooling improves when PBO is disabled. It seems the performance difference isn't significant enough to justify changing the driver, though you notice cooler temperatures. Consider whether this trade-off matters for your use case.
Based on my observations, the PBO doesn't make much difference for the 3800x.
