I was wondering if instead of doing a straight overclock, which leaves the frequency at the overclocked state, is it possible to just raise the boost clock?

For example, the processor I'm using, r3 2200g, has a base of 3500 and boost of 3700. Is it possible to raise the boost from 3700 to say 3900 or 4.0?

I've already determined that my chip can run at a constant and stable 3.9 ghz, so should be ok for boost clock if it's possible to change the boost clock?
 
I have the chip drivers from the amd site and the ryzen plan. I also tried tried setting the minimum processor state to 10 in both ryzen balance plan and the windows balanced power plan, as previously suggested. Problem is, any method to manually affect the clock speed, so far, has locked in the multiplier and voltage.

Also tried looking at custom pstates in bios, but in any pstate the voltage and frequency are locked and not able to be changed. I will ask about the updates on the asrock forum
They appear locked but you have to edit the hex values to change the frequency and voltage. You only need to edit the p0 state anyway and leave the rest on stock. ie to set 3.9ghz in pstate 0 chane the hex value for FID to 9c. Probably best to leave the voltage and just use voltage offset to what ever it is you need to run 3.9ghz.
btw that will only work if pstate is working with your current bios, on mine it will only downclock to the lower pstates without downvolting.
