3quin0x

Perfect, that the answer i was hoping for, thanks for clarifying.

Goodday everyone. This is my first post, ive seen plenty of topics regarding the subject but none really answer my question. Im currently running esxi for vm's and a separate file server. Now its time to upgrade i want to use unraid to combine fileserver with vm's (pfsense + home assistant). Generally id go for intel, however its newer products dont support ecc (s1700 only from 12500 onwards). So the easyest option is ryzen, as they all support ecc, however there is/was the issue with ryzen c-states. Seeing electricity prices are "ryzing" (phun intended) efficiency is an important factor for me. ive seen ppl having issues with 3000 series, and advising to change Power Supply Idle Control to typical. My question is, how does this affect the c-states on the cpu? Will the cpu still be able to enter high c-states? If idle power on ryzen is too high id rather spend extra money on 12500 or s1200 xeon, rather than spend it on electricity.
