[SOLVED] Intel C state while overclocking

[Countgreen]

Is it worth having Intel C state enable while having an overclok? My 7820x is at 4.7 @1.15V stable with a -3AVX workload. Peak Core/ Package temp was 80C with a power draw of 234W. Will having C state enabled reduce power/heat output?

The C state just reduces power consumption when the cores are not under load. To steal Intel's analogy - it's like turning off the lights when nobody is home. It won't affect your peak temps at all, but it will save power while idle. Intel has a great article on the different processor states: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/power-management-states-p-states-c-states-and-package-c-states
