Asus have brought a program out called zenstates for the CH6. I'd imagine it'd get rolled out to other boards soon to allow downclocking.
I really hope Vega is good too. Have you tried using insanely high timings on your ram? I've learned today that setting 30s then allowing to boot and bringing that down is far more forgiving than auto timings.

How does that work?

With windows power mode set to balance, my CPU downclocks at idle without changing any settings in the BIOS, MSI Tomahawk for reference.

The ram timings. Sounds like it could be a way to get my kit running at 3200

Oh, it seems to be a ryzen quirk. The boards sort of learn the looser timings and allow you tighten them once you get successful boots. I had no chance of booting mine above 2400 i had to boot from every memory divider with really high timings, reboot and then increase the divider then when at the speed your happy at tighten timings.
I did this for every divider from 2400 to 3200

Sounds like a real ball ache :D

Still how does it do that? Surely if it can post at a speed after 'learning' it could have done it in the first place?

Unless it is auto adjusting voltages on the board until it finds stability?

I think the memory training it does automatically is not quiet right. Other than that I have no answers but I know a few have used this method.

What dividers did you use between 29.3 and 32? 1.4v? As for timings, 30 30 30 60? What interval did you tighten by? Might try the same with mine!

1.4v and 1.4v for bootdram and timings of 25-25-25-50 just to get me to boot. Then lower from there. My XMP profile for 3000 is 15-17-17-35
I wanted 3200 so I knew I would probably have to go looser. I worked my way down until I found instability then I came back up 1 number on each. My timings are now 16-18-18-36.
Which ironically is 1 higher on each than they are rated for. You may want to try that first instead of fudging about like I did.

Mine is so odd. I'm stable at 2933 14 14 14 34. Put in 32x 18 18 18 38. It boots up fine, CPUZ is showing those timings but only 2933 still.
