So since October of last year I was having problems with my Arch + KDE
build freezing at idle on my 2700X build. Usually freezes occur while a
YouTube or Twitch video is playing. When it freezes, it would often also
cause whatever audio that is playing to loop over and over. Journalctl
would have no logs of anything at all after the system freezes.

To fix this problem, I had to make sure that both Power Supply Idle was
set to 'Typical' and that my VCore undervolt wasn't too aggressive. Both
of those had to be satisfied, because for a time I only set Power Supply
Idle to 'Typical' while leaving my undervolt at -0.75V, which even
though it gave me no problems when the system is stressed (such as
running Prime95 for close to 24 hours), it would cause the system to
freeze at idle. All freezing stopped once I reduced my undervolt to
-0.6875V, and the system has been running for close to 3 months now for
16 hours a day without a single hitch.

Just to be doubly sure that a fix has to require Power Supply Idle being
set to 'Typical', I disabled it yesterday (while leaving my undervolt at
-0.6875v), and it froze within a day.

TLDR: Setting Power Supply Idle to 'Typical' and making sure that I
wasn't running an overly aggressive VCore undervolt was what solved my
freezing issues.

My Hardware: Ryzen 2700X, ASUS X470 CROSSHAIR VII with 2304 BIOS,
Seaonic Focus+80+ Gold 650W Power Supply.
