Go to boot devices and add following boot argument:
amd_pstate.shared_mem=0 amd_pstate=disable nmi_watchdog=0 modprobe.blacklist=k10temp,acpi_cpufreq,rapl,intel_rapl_msr,intel_rapl_common,sp5100_tco,wmi,eeepc_wmi,asus_wmi idle=halt tsc=unstable nowatchdog -

run corefreq-cli and go to settings and then make sure CPU-IDLE, CPU-FREQ, GOVERNOR and CLOCKSOURCE are enabled.
-
Go to kernel data (k) and set Idle Limit to C6
-
Optional: Set the CPU governor to powersave with this command:
# Powersave all cores echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor # Powersave specific cores echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{0..7}/cpufreq/scaling_governor; echo "powersave" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{16..23}/cpufreq/scaling_governor # Performance specific cores echo "performance" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{8..15}/cpufreq/scaling_governor; echo "performance" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{24..31}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
