Na. The ASRock MB is/was most likely good still, depending on if anything shorted out by the TIM connecting a processor pin.

Thanks everyone for the help!

I haven't been online since I tore down the computer to try to fix it. I grabbed the fastest to get Micro-ATX AM4 motherboard I could find (ASUS PRIME B350M-A) and switched to that. There was also a tiny bit of thermal paste spillage potentially reaching one pin, but I guess it's more likely that the ASRock motherboard was faulty.

Anyway after getting the build running again it reached 3.0GHz and the benchmarks match the baseline!

CPU-Z benchmark at reference


As predicted above, TIM on a CPU pin. Not one other post about a Ryzen CPU running at 1/2 it's rated clock speed in the forum. I've never seen my Ryzen 1700X at 1.5GHz with C6 enabled.

But of course, it was the board... Pinch

How do mother board manufactures stay in business? Confused

I had the exact same issue with a Fatality X370 Professional Gaming...  its likely the way you set the vcore voltage, at least that is what it was for me.. When i set my vcore voltage in both locations (top and down towards the bottom) I got the same as you were getting, like 1550mhz.... 

When I overclocked using the p-states it worked fine..

After overclocking with the p-states,  I went back and set my overclock the conventional way one would overclock...  I used the top frequency and top vcore setting only and it worked fine..  I used 1.350 vcore, the voltage setting on down the page was set to auto but I changed the cpu llc to level4..  It worked as intended...

 I'm running a stable 3.9ghz at 1.35 to 1.376 volts..

 I think i'm going to go back to the p-state overclock though.. I like that better because of the down clock, seems like it used a bit less voltage also..
