>serious stabilization issues

Care to go into more detail? I've just installed a server with a 3700X and the only issues I've experienced have been that I need a custom kernel module in order to get CPU temperature and power data (zenpower)

Is this on an old Ubuntu version or something? This was only true in the early days of these CPUs, which was last year. Temps have been working for a long time in the Arch world, but maybe it's different in point release hell.

I don't know, although I'm running the latest Ubuntu (20.04.1), with kernel 5.4.0-45-generic

It's been a while, so I have since forgotten the details... but I believe I needed to make a few changes to the BIOS to turn off idling or something like that.
