I don't have iCue. As a test i turned off "Asus Embedded Controller Support" in Argus. Because for some reason it is enabled by default and my PC ran for 9 hours without slowing down yesterday. So that is something. I then went into the bios and turned PBO and everything I turned off back on and haven't throttled since. I also wrote the Asus Support on Twitter but they seemed to think it is all fixed after i wrote it hasn't crashed since turning that feature off. I still think there is a deeper Issue going on. If iCue can also cause this issue then there is something about sensor readouts that isn't being handled well by the Motherboard. There was a post yesterday on reddit of someone having the same Issue. He doesn't have Argus or iCue but Riva Tuner. The reporting software from MSI Afterburner. I gotta ask him to turn that off and see if it changes anything. That would make a pretty tight case for those kind of software to cause the issue.

First of thanks for all the infos. I made a reddit post about my Setup and troubleshooting but i can put the info here also. Computer Type: Desktop GPU: GTX 2070 Super 8GB CPU: RYZEN 9 5900X Motherboard: ASUS X570-E Gaming BIOS Version: 4021 RAM: 64GB Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz PSU: BeQuiet 650W Case: BeQuiet Dark Base 700 Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 11 PRO GPU Drivers: GEFORCE GAME READY DRIVER - WHQL Driver Version: 497.29 Chipset Drivers: AMD X570 CHIPSET DRIVERS VERSION 3.10.22.706 Background Applications: Discrod, Steam, Little Big Mouse, OpenRGB, PowerToys, FiiO Driver, Stream Deck, HWinfo, Argus Monitor Troubleshooting: - Updating Chipset Drivers - Replacing the Motherboard - Extensive Stress Test under Linux for about 10 Hours without any issues. Leading me to believe it is a Windows related problem - Updating my Bios to the latest Version. - Turned of everything PBO related and now turned of Global C-State Control too What i believe is happening: Even though the behaviour stays after a reboot so making it look like a Hardware issue I believe it is a Windows Issue. I suspect something is causing the CPU to draw an excessive amount of power putting it in some kind of "Panic" mode and in trying to protect itself it clocks down drastically and limits the voltage to the CPU at 0.95V.If I go into Ryzen Master and apply the Creator preset raising the core voltage back up I can get my system to run at Base Clock without boosting. But the massive Power draw stays.Because my PC is connected to a Smart Socket I can also say that this jump in Watts is not "real". When this happens the Powerdraw of my system actually goes down a bit because he is only sending 0.95V to the CPU but still indicating an Power Draw of over 300Watts.' Someone I have talked to on reddit with the same issues noticed that the only software we share is Argus Monitor. He turned it off Yesterday and apparently hasnt crashed since. You wrote that you also use Argus and now I seem to recall there was an Update not too long ago. And looking on their Website this is the changelog. Not 100% sure but with the new Power Readings and the Asus Embedded Controller Support this "could" be the culprit in confusing the Hardware to go Haywire. Not sure just a guess. Maybe worth a shot turning it off and seeing what happens. I use it to control my GPU fans so I need to find another solution to do that.

After 3 Hours and 45 Minutes down to 550mhz again. So that didnt change anything.

I got my replacement Motherboard in yesterday and it didn't change anything. I found a Reddit thread suggesting newer Chipset drivers from the Asus Website. For some reason those on the AMD website are older. I also got a HWinfo log of this issue happening. I'll attach a Screenshot. It looks crazy. After replacing the MB while testing I also had an very unusual Hard Lock. Monitors stayed on but all USB devices turned off and neither the reset or long pressing the power button would shut it down. When booting afterwards windows eagerly installed updates. So take from that what you will. But what I also noticed If i applied the Creator preset in Ryzen master he would come back up to base clock. Because he overwrites the core voltage limit. Right now I am testing if turning off PBO completely solves the issue. There are two places in the Bios where you gotta turn if off and I did that. RN i am two hours in and no funky behavior yet. Well see if it stays that way. Next thing i would try is downgrading the BIOS or trying Linux and seeing if it happens there too. Only problem is that I control my GPU fans through the MB and there is no good software with an Interface to do that in Linux as far as I am aware.

Hey, did you find what was wrong? I am having the same issue with my 5900X and ASUS X570-E Gaming Board. It randomly locks to 550mhz and only completely shutting it down will reset it. I really don't want to replace the MB. After a dead RAM kit and a dead CPU when i first build this RIG this would be another dead component.
