Overclocking on Ax370 gaming k7 2700x

[SwingLifeAway92]

So I cannot figure this out as I've never had anything like it happen. So I recently upgraded to a 2700x (friend of mine wanted to build a pc so I sold him my 1800x for cheap to help him out with his budget) I never had issues overclocking my 1800x to 4.0ghz but now that I've switched to the 2700x this boards been causing me issues. The cpu will overclock to 4.2ghz 100% stable but I have to do this through the ryzen software because whenever I try to change the multiplier on the bios at all I cannot boot windows and get a bsod. The bios is up to date and everything else seems to be working fine but no matter what I do I cannot overclock the cpu through bios without getting a bsod.

youre actually losing performance when you overclock your 2700x to 4.2ghz, because your 2700x can reach 4.3ghz with XFR on stock settings.

the 2700x is already overclocked to the maximum  leave everything on stock, no need to do anything with it

The problem I've had is when I push heavy load on all cores xfr downclocks below 4.0ghz

i've read that you need to enable XFR 2.0 in bios settings

Update your BIOS and if possible, enable XFR 2.0

I enabled it but still can't change clock multiplier in bios without bsod and whenever I stress all cores it just goes to like 4.0ghz

Then i'd just advise selling your X370 motherboard and buy an X470 motherboard

if you cant sell it just keep it as is... XFR is still boosting to 4.2-4.3GHZ on some cores, but on all cores its 4ghz, the jump from 4ghz all core to 4.2ghz all core is only 5%, do you seriously need that 5%? ridiculous 

also there's an option in bios for Precision Boost Overdrive, which is basically like Multicore Enhancement (Intel), it overclocks your cpu to 4.3ghz on all cores.

See the issue is xfr isn't working properly idk why temps are fine and it has all the voltage it could ever want but for some reason it'll turbo to around 4.3 on single core but the second multicore kicks in it drops to below 4ghz
