I have not tried the XFR because the values are in HEX I think, yes its just enabled/disable for the function, and you can set the power limits (those are the actual XFR 2.0 settings), and not documented, but I have tested the CPU up to 4150MHz with 1.45V, and the GPU up to 1650 with 1.25V, I can pass IntelBurnTest @ 4150MHz with maximum stress setting 10 passes, and the GPU I have played CS:GO for about 5-6 hours straight @ 1650MHz with no problems.
My opinion is that it overclocks ok, both the GPU and CPU part, but the actual procedure is not that straight forward in UEFI plus you loose the adaptive frequency/voltage scaling when idle, I tried with P-State but you also lose some of the power states, so for now I just run stock with turbo disabled because of the throttle bug when turbo is enabled, maybe next UEFI will fix it.

PS: you also loose the GPU adaptive frequency when you overclock it, instead of downclocking the GPU will stay at 1650MHz even in idle, and thats not good, until they fix these bugs better without OC

There's XFR 2.0 and XFR 2.0 enhanced.
They're different.
Please have a look at AMD.

I too have these same problems with PUBG and BF1.  I started a dialogue with ASRock Support about 4.60 for Taichi.  I have better stability on 4.60 compared to 3.20 overclocked.  But, 4.60 does not play well with these two applications and a few other things, like 3.20 does.  Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

I will try to explain again:  XFR 2.0 (the enhanced part means its configurable tru' UEFI) will work on all X370 boards with Ryzen 2xxx CPU if the manufacturer of the board did not lock/disable/hide the option on porpouse, in case of ASRock they did leave the option enabled fully, so its enabled and configurable. Asus on the other hand removed/renamed the option, so did Gigabyte as far as I understand. Its just for marketing purpose because on the high end side there is 0 difference between X370 and X470, you need to understand that its the same silicone just made on a newer fab node for lower TDP, there is no additional logic vs X370, all "new" functions of X470 where added to X370 by ASRock with a UEFI update

EDIT: It seems ASRock (I hope temporary) is not listing the 2700X as compatible with the Fatality X370 ITX/ac and Fatality AB350 ITX/ac, for some unknown reason, all other X370 boards do list the 2700X, if they indeed do not certify the 2700X on these two boards its just because they released the X470 ITX/ac and this is called planned obsolence that the UE Commision is not very fond of

No, I don't think so. More likely it's just an omission. I haven't checked the X370 ITX but on the Specification page for the B350 ITX under CPU it says:

"Supports 105W Water Cooling (Pinnacle Ridge); Supports 95W Water Cooling (Summit Ridge); Supports 65W Water Cooling (Raven Ridge)"

New beta UEFI/BIOS updates were released that include AGESA version PinnaclePI-AM4_1.0.0.3b, and it seems to resolve the audio problem in Battlefield 1. That's the case for my ASRock AB350 Pro4 with UEFI/BIOS version 4.73A/PinnaclePI-AM4_1.0.0.3b, atleast.

Can you tell us if its indeed AGESA 1.0.0.3b? or its 1.0.0.2? You can check by entering UEFI and go /Advanced/AMD PBS/Firmware Version, and the top lines should state the AGESA version used.

Thanks 

Have a nice day

Many thanks for the update.

Sounds promising. Are you running a first or second generation Ryzen?

According to this guy on Overclock.net, 1.0.0.3b has been available for at least two weeks now, so hopefully it is 1.0.0.3b being used by ASRock:
