Stilt, regarding "OC" mode. You said the voltage bias that Ryzen has at stock gets shut down and thus the actual voltage across every pstate gets higher, probably ending up in more power consumption across the board. Is that correct?
Can you tell for the people that is trying to decide if it's worth to OC Ryzen or not, how much does the OC mode impacts idle and low load scenarios regarding power consumption? Also, does the CPU engage in OC mode too if you undervolt? Have you tried undervolting or does it yield some advantages when running stock and considering turbo pstates?
Lastly. I have seen 1700 max turbo clock on all cores is 3.2ghz. Can you confirm what would be the max turbo clock on all cores for the 1700x? Thanks in advance and sorry for the bunch of question I'm asking. Deciding if it's worth not OCing at all on a 1700X instead of getting a 1700 and make it run at 1700x turbo clocks, and if the impact in power consumption across the board and not only P0 is worth it for my use case and form factor.
