I am running the Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS version https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Just grab the ISO and rufus from https://rufus.ie/ and burn it to a 16GB USB stick. It will create what is called a Live USB installation. Then reboot the computer and point the BIOS at the UEFI bootloader on the USB stick and in a minute or so you will be running Ubuntu. You can investigate how it looks and works. It is running solely from the stick and doesn't install anything to your drives.
There is an icon on the Desktop for installing permanently to your storage when you want later. I would recommend just adding a new cheap small 128GB SSD drive to your machine for the target for the future Linux installation. That way you don't have to deal with dual booting or deal with grub installers later. You just reboot the machine when you want to change the operating system by choosing which OS to run from the BIOS selection.
You could just run the Blender benchmark from the stick to but suspect the slow USB stick access might hinder that. Don't know if it runs mostly in memory or not. I know it has to load the files from the Blender folders to do the rendering.

I probably have just as old a version of Rufus as you. I haven't had a Windows system to use it for over a year. Never noticed the ability to deploy to USB Hard drives as I always used a stick.

Does CH7 have an amd Cool and Quite mode that other manufactures seem to have for AMD? It seems to lower the temps and voltage.

Yes. CPU configuration. PSS Support.What AMD calls Cool 'n Quiet now.

I don't think this is Cool 'n Quiet.
I don't have it on 1xxx CPU, but do have Global C-State Control. I've also found AM1 mobo manuals showing PSS Support. Also found a site showing if enabled Linux can report incorrect CPU MHz.

When I searched for Cool 'n Quiet for my first 1700X, I found AMD sources explaining that feature was called PSS Support now. Can you post the URL you state that PSS Support incorrectly reports clock frequency under Linux. I have never had exact 100Mhz reported, only 99.8 but that is what everybody else reports unless you make major changes in BCLK. The reason is that AMD cpus don't have any internal measuring instruments to measure BLCK like Intel cpus do.

Also find many references to what PSS Support means in OCN threads for X370 Prime Pro and other AMD threads.
The ACPI specification defines the _PSS (Processor Supported States) ACPI processor object that allows system firmware to describe the processor performance states that are supported by the platform to operating system software.
