You are running a strong cpu on a budget mainboard. The b350 mainboards aren't known for a good vrm design, therefore the 1700x might be putting to much stress on them causing them to overheat. The result is throttling on the clockspeed.

Better get rid of the board and buy a x370/x470.
 


im not sure though as it had previously run at 3.8Ghz Any other solutions?
