I picked up one of these during one of the sales to upgrade my unraid server. I was thinking of running it in eco mode to save power/heat since I mostly bought it for the extra cores for VMs. I'm also running an unimpressive x470 motherboard so I wasn't planning on stressing things anymore than necessary.
Anything I should be aware of on this? I actually haven't seen it talked about much in reviews, but some people seem to get 85% performance in the 65watt mode.
Also, how does PBO tie into this? I have a single eco mode 65watt setting in bios but there's also PBO settings of 105, 65 and I think 85. I haven't really paid attention to overclocking much in years outside of ram/XMP so I usually just use defaults.
