Just wanted to post an update... I've completely redone this machine, most of the hardware is the same except the graphics card and the installation of a full custom loop with two radiators.  

I've pushed my overclock to 4.0ghz at 1.413v, anything less and it's unstable unfortunately.  I'm using P-states to do my OC (BIOS 4.4) with a downclock idle to the 2.2ghz @ .9v except I'm not seeing it downclock at idle.  Do I need to go into power saving settings and put an idle into the power setting profile?

there was some reports of this happening on the asus forum

it seems the windows reports are incorrect,must be some glitch between windows and the later updated bios (the 1007 agesa)

Updated BIOS to version 4.4 and am happy to report that I'm getting more stable overclocks!  Definitely see that I need to increase voltages on vcore a tad more to get it to post on boot.  

Also, I've noticed this... Windows isn't seeing the new CPU frequency.  I've done testing and can show that the CPU is indeed overclocked to 3.8Ghz as the Cinabench results are right where they should be for a 3.8GHz OC.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:

Hey Datonyb,
I found the BIOS beta version 3.2a, only problem is I'm not really experienced with installing new versions of BIOS.  I noticed this is a .exe.  Am I going to need to flash this with a Bootable DOS USB stick?

Have you tried any of the new BIOS versions? (3.4/4.4)

Just wanted to update, I have a stable overclock at 3.8ghz @1.325v currently. Seems I'll need to update to BIOS version 3.20a before I can overcome this CPU multiplier bug.. Anything above 3.8GHz becomes unstable with a restart... despite pushing my CPU Voltage.  

It's really impressive I can get this CPU to run at 3.8 at 1.325v... not bad at all.

Considering the PSU that I have, that seems highly unlikely as at most I'm using 75% of what this thing is rated at.

With all the praise this board gets, I also think that (hopefully) isn't true about reaching it's limit.

that could be vrm or power supply issue, or motherboard limits
my ryzen 5 1600x can hit 165watts in stress tests like nothing
mobo is rated for 95watts :P

i have seen reports of CPU overclocks not being stable with ram at higher speeds. sometimes you can add some SOC voltage to help from what i read. more SOC voltage did not help me.

my R7 1700 needs 1.36v @ 3.9ghz  to pass 24 hours of prime95 though doing 24hours of prime95 was fine it could not do 1 hour of handbrake encoding. 
for everyday truly stable oc i run 3750mhz 1.275v
