Which power plan are you using? Right click Start and click Power Options. On the right hand side of the resulting window click on Additional Power Setting. Another way is Control Panel/Power Options. I would choose Balanced or Power Saver. Click on Change Plan Settings(to the right of your preferred plan). Click On Change Advanced Settings. Now click on Processor Power Management.

Is your minimum state at 0%?

What motherboard are you using and do you have AMD's Balanced Power plan installed via their chipset drivers -> http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064

On another note Ryzen CPU's won't downclock as much as previous model chips from AMD due to the way they manage power although they will use other techniques to drop power consumption such as power gating and core parking. Although my 1700X does seem to drop to around 3.1/3.2Ghz from its 3.4ghz base and 3.5ghz all core xfr frequencies

Hello, I have the same issue, I downloaded the AMD balanced power plan from their website, and it is on 90% minimum processor state by default. Is this the problem? Should this be on a lower setting? ( I use it with a b350 pc mate board and I haven't updated it's bios yet). I'm really new to this, this was my first build and I finsihed like an hour ago.
