Need some help with folding and P0 state often enabled for miners.
Anyone has experience for Windows or Linux on these states, and how they affect folding?
 
- My theory is that a P2 state overclocked, should get close to, if not faster than a stock P0 state.
 With this in mind, I wonder if it's even necessary to run boost speeds? (some RTX GPUs run +35 OC, some go as high as +190 OC, before they error out).
- My second theory is that a good overclock on P2 state, could potentially crash the GPU (or worse) when it switches to P0 state with the same overclocking settings.
- Another thing I've been wondering is, how stable is a P0 state?
 According to what I read, any (at least RTX/GTX) GPU, runs automatically at a P0 state when below ~48C, and switches to P2 state around ~50C.
 Once in P2 state, it no longer gets Boost speeds (goes back to stock running speed) and with an overclock it's possible to still reach the same speeds as boost speeds.
 Once locked to P0 state, boost speed remains active even if GPU runs hot. This is where the main problem occurs, when the GPU gets too hot, it will error out around P0 state.
 
Any more info on the subject would be appreciated!
