I have the B550M-ITX/ac (bios L3.46) and Ryzen 9 3900
To reduce heating I want to reduce the maximum core frequency in turbo boost.
But I didn't find such option in bios. I can only increase maximum frequency.

If you're using Windows 10 or 11, you can unhide the extra power options and expose the "Maximum processor frequency Setting" in the Power Options -> Processor power management.

Search for "How to Add or Remove 'Maximum processor frequency' in Windows 10 & 11" to find how to unhide the extra settings.

As for BIOS setting, I think the question needs to go to AMD. I don't think AMD has that setting in the AGESA code, which is unfortunate. I think it would be a great option to have.
