why ? does a cooler affect boost behavior ?
Absolutely, Ryzen's boost is in many ways similar to Nv's GPU Boost in that respect. This is also why it is ahead of Intel's Turbo technology, which keeps adding caveats to achieve higher peak clocks but also gets higher peak temps and voltages. If spiky temps is your fear, Intel is really not the go-to and hasn't been since Kaby Lake, honestly. The complaints are as old as 7700K. It was always manageable, but that is all she wrote. We even delidded the CPUs, remember.
Im experiencing similar with my 8700K. Its a big difference from the 3570K I had before it. The voltages are managed more aggressively and the temps show you this all the time. OCing on this CPU was a temp limited affair, on the 3570K it was certainly not.
