I'm trying to just run my cpu at 3.6 stock but it keeps jumping. I've disabled PBO in bios but nothing seems to have changed. I'm using an ASUS x570-pro board and have windows set to balanced performance mode.

the easy way is to set the power plan to Balanced (recommended) - the windows version

AMD Ryzen Balanced optimizes the CPU to hit peak boost and that is what causes the voltage spikes

i'll agree there. i got a new 3700x and figured the stock cooler would be fine. but that fan ramps up and down almost non-stop which is very annoying.

i'm looking at replacing the stock cooler as i type this. it's a decent cooler for sure, but i can't handle the fan changing speed 24/7.....

not sure. haven't kept up with recent releases.

but if i gonna do it, it'll most likely be 125-150w or so air so PBO can do it's thing better :) though if there's better for similar money, i'll do it for sure.

don't really want AIO so gonna stay away from water on this one

Are your bios, and chipset drivers up to date? There were some updates for that issue, iirc.
