WTR Pro CPU throttling

[phar]

Hi all - happy new year!!

I'm running PVE 8.3.2 on an AOOSTAR WTR Pro. It has an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U running at up to 4.3Ghz. The challenge I am having is ProxMox seems to limit the CPU core speeds to 2.3Ghz max. I have checked the CPU Governor and it's set to Performance.

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
performance
performance
performance

If I run on the host:

stress-ng --cpu 16 --timeout 60 and then watch the CPU with watch -n 1 "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq, this is what I get:

1916525
1916540
1916517
1916517
2395632
2395645
1916517
1916567
1916545
1916522
1916521
1916516
1916523
1916526
1916532
1916534

I've live booted ZorinOS 17 on the same system and run the same stress test and every core maxes at 4.3Ghz as expected. This says to me there is nothing in my BIOS limiting performance and the issue is with my

Any suggestions on where to go here?

It's not throttling, just not boosting.Have you tried enabling the AMD pstate driver? https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/amd-pstate-driver-steps-and-discussion.118873/

Whilst I haven't specially enabled it I believe it's the default and so is enabled already. Here's the output from CPUpower:

The P0 state doesn’t look right at all. Surely that should be the max boost frequency of 4.55Ghz?
