There is a workaround such that you don't have to downclock.
1) Set all core CCX manual clock to 4 or 4.2 Ghz in BIOS
2) Install AMD Ryzen Master software

3) Every time you boot up PC or wake up from sleep - open Ryzen Master, set ECO or DEFAULT profile. This returns CPU clock/boost to normal out of box behavior and overrides BIOS manual setting.
4) Play EQ, or do whatever!
Step 3 is indeed annoying, but this is what I have been doing to get full CPU performance while being able to play P99.
