Hello!
I purchase da Ryzen 5950x and has been running at normal speeds for a week now (3.4 ghz boosting to 4.9ghz). Today I walked away from my PC and came back a few hours later and noticed the PC was off, upon turning the PC back on I noticed the CPU speed was running at 1.7ghz.
Immediately I assumed it overheated somehow and fried the chip (which maybe is what happened, it does hit 80c occasionally, but I read it's stable up to 90..)
I then restarted the PC and checked BIOS and everything is on default settings, so I exited BIOS and continued turning the PC back on and the CPU speed ran at 4.5 ghz for about 1-2 minutes before slowing down to 1.7ghz.
So I ran prime 95 on smallest FFT's to see if it would boost back to normal speeds but it will only go up to 3ghz.
Am I screwed?

After reading a few post I checked my power savings mode and currently I am in "Power Saver [Active]" and when I try to change to "AMD Ryzen Balanced" the apply button stays greyed out and clicking ok then re-opening the window shows its reverted back to "Power Saver [Active]".
So I tried changing back to "AMD Ryzen Balanced" and changing one of the settings then reverting back so the Apply button would become active and I then clicked apply closed and reopened the window to see it reverted back to "Power Saver [Active]" again.
Seems like this has to do with the issue because on the state its stuck in if I change the power minimum state from 5% to 90% then CPU speed goes up to 2.9ghz
