Post #3979030

I managed to get the 11700k to have a pkg idle at ~5.5W (from ~14.5W). This is running a full KDE Plasma desktop and driving two 4K displays. Go into your BIOS and change all the C-states settings from "Auto" to "Enabled", C-10. That's all it took. Well, I installed tlpd and acpid but I doubt they contributed a lot to reducing the number. I'm content with this for now. The AMD 3600X - can't do a damn thing with it - other than turn it off. I'll probably do that. Much cheaper than replacing with a 5650GE. Ha.
