Comment 389 for bug 1690085

For my Ryzen 1700 system, setting bios "Power Supply Idle Control" to "Typical Current" increases power consumption at idle by approximately 4 watts, from 39 watts to 43. Still impressively low, but I hope that AMD will give me my 4 watts back eventually. Uptime is currently 2 days, but has been as high as 6 weeks in the past before locking up, so I cannot yet report that my stability issue is resolved.

As others have reported, the "Typical Current" option disables package C6 state, but not core C6 state. It is high time for AMD to make an official statement on this issue.
