Hello! I’ve switched to Ubuntu Mate from Linux Mint and I’ve been enjoying the (in my opinion) cleaner UI and the better performance in games.
However, I can’t seem to get my i3-6100 overclocked using my Z170 motherboard. I can confirm it’s not a user error; the overclock config worked flawlessly with Mint after setting the max cstate to 0 in the grub config. Attempting the same thing with Ubuntu Mate leaves me unable to boot, which disappoints me, as the primary reason I went with the i3 was becuase I wanted i5 performance for cheap and was (admittedly) somewhat impatient.
I would prefer to be able to continue using Mate as my main install, although if required I could switch to Debian or another super-light OS then run Mate on top of it.
If you think you have a possible solution,then I’d love to hear it. Thank you in advance. =]
EDIT: It should be noted that overclocking the i3-6100 is considered “hacky” as it is not intended by Intel to be overclocked. However, other distros (e.g. Mint) are able to handle the overclock, so I am unable to see why Ubuntu MATE can’t.
