From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Undervolt stable on Windows but crashes on Linux (lemmy.world)

I undervolted my CPU about a year ago and haven't had any issues with it till now. I've been dual booting Linux recently and noticed whenever I was in Linux it would crash/reboot after a couple of hours or less of using it. I noticed the behavior was similar to when I set the voltages too low when initially setting up the undervolt so I disabled it and haven't had any crashed since. Any idea why it would be stable on Windows but not Linux? I tried a couple of different distros as well. I'll probably just raise the voltage until I get it stable again but I'm interested to know what could cause this! If its relevant my CPU is a Ryzen 7 3800x

I can validate that. Switched my NAS to amd_pstate, went from 2.12 kW.h per day to 1.95 kW.h per day.

hmm I might give it a try then, last time I mentioned it I was recommended to just stick with the defaults
