I was severely affected a year ago. My system would not run through one rebuild of Gentoo, i.e. it would lock up / hard freeze after only a few hours. I suspect the heavy disk corruption I experienced every time it happened was a direct result of this, and not caused by unrelated hardware defects. The situation was dire and at the time I had to set "typical power idle" in the firmware in order to make the problem go away and the system usable.
Things seem to have improved a lot since then. I now have default firmware settings (i.e. I have NOT set "typical power idle"), I have default Linux idle settings (i.e. I have NOT set idle=halt, idle=mwait or similar), and am I not using any other counter measure anymore. The system is as stable as it gets: No lockups and no unexplainable segfaults. This is since before Linux 5.0 and I strongly suspect the recent firmware update to version 4207 to have fixed the issue.

We're using Ryzen 1800X CPU with X370 Gaming Pro Carbon MB (7A32V1) using latest BIOS available (1.52) We are running Ubuntu 17.04 (amd64), we've tried different kernel version, native one and releases from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ too. Tested kernel version: native 17.04 kernel 4.10.15 Issues are the same, we're getting random freeze on the machine.

Crash is happening randomly, but in general after some hours (3-4h). Now, we've installed kernel 4.11.0-041100-generic #201705041534 this morning and waiting for crash... For now, the machine is not "used", at least, it's not CPU stressed...
