I've had the new PC up and running for a week now and am pretty happy with it overall. The only real gripe I had was with the default out of the box settings from my motherboard. I don't know if auto sets PBO to be on but the voltage and temp spikes were bothering me (goes up to 1.42V on vcore!). Like I would go from 38C from idle to low 40's on very light loads and spikes closer to 50 if I have more apps open in the background or switching programs.
Since, I've set it to 1.15V V Core and enabled PBO. Still boost to 4.65Ghz with way less power and heat. Apparently it lowers performance (slightly) but something to consider during the hot summer months!
Edit: Also tried offsetting -0.1 Vcore on dynamic which also decent since it only boosts when needed ^^
