AMD dynamically flocking the CPU relies on a few factors. BIOS must have those power options enabled, such as C1E and the various other C-Statea if such options are available as well as options such as CPPC and AMD Cool & Quiet.
Then in WnOS install very latest version of AMD Ryzen Chipset Driver from amd.com
Once installed, disable Fast Startup + Hibernation. Once disabled, reboot and set Windows Power Profile to Balanced.
For Balanced or High Performance edit them abd for the HDD Sleep Timer, disable this.
Sometimes High Performance profile on certain configs won't allow the dynamic clocking to work since it's wanting to ensure the CPU can have 100% clocks at all times so the Turbo can kick in faster if needed.
If you use a high refresh Monitor or multi-Monitor config, this also could prevent CPU and/or GPU from down-clocking when idle or low loads
As long as you have PBO or CBS (Core Performance Boost setting) on then it will keep your voltage at max voltage on some boards depending on how their implementation of AMD's platform specs. (here: inclusive or not exclusive or, meaning if even one of these are on).
If you don't want 1.3-1.4 core then you'd need to turn both off. But turning both off means that the CPU won't automatically boost anymore, but your voltage should drop with both of those options off and the clock speed stay at, near, or below the max non-OC base clock specified by AMD.
If not, then contact your motherboard manufacturer because they may have additional instructions on how to set it up. But generally PBO and CBS override any other setting regarding clock speed and voltage on AMD boards.
Your board may also have a "one click auto OC" mode that can be on by default that needs to be disabled to accomplish what you want -- which I assume to mean to have your PC lower its clocks and voltage to save power and reduce heat.
Manually tuning Ryzen needs a lot of care as it can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. In particular, what is a safe voltage at a low current draw/load level and what is a safe voltage at a higher current draw/load level are not the same thing. There is not a single, fixed value where it is or isn't safe because this safe range varies based on other conditions. Ryzen can and will boost up to 1.4V to even 1.5V (at least the late AM4 ones will, the AM5 ones might have different ranges) and this may seem dangerous at first... but it's not under the conditions in which it does it. People see that it is boosting to this by itself and presume 1.35V or 1.4V must certainly be safe... and yet it may not be under other conditions, and thus they may slowly degrade their CPU.
The following is simply my opinion and you're free to disregard it, but I don't see much of a point in manually tuning Ryzen platforms. If you have the knowledge and time and want to eke everything out of something, go for it, but for most people, undervolting them with offsets and enabling EXPO is often going to get you the majority of benefits. Manually tuning RAM might bring more but then that's RAM tuning and not strictly CPU tuning.
When done gaming for a long period, then switch the power profile back to either Balanced or Power Saver. Just keep in mind each power profile has defaults that are set rather low for things like Dimming the Screen (if a Laptop) and the Power Sleep Timer. So if you are doing alot of periods of reading while not using the KB + Mouse, set the Display Sleep Timer higher to like 30mins or something so it doesn't just kick in while you're in the middle of reading.
Still to this day I don't understand why MS does not have a power icon in notification bar even on systems like Desktops that don't have a battery. As this would make it easier to switch power profiles like you do on a Laptop.
And performance history count can be used as a stability factor if you need more.
With Ryzen and modern Intel CPUs you can't just mess around with Base, Turbo, VCore, RAM; you have to dive in and go way beyond that. Such as adjusting the various thresholds and such.
