Describe the bug

My CPU is constantly stuck at 3400Mhz, sometimes goes up to 3500Mhz.

bazzite@bazzite:~$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 13:
  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: Not Available
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: Not Available
  maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
Not Available
  available cpufreq governors: Not Available
  Unable to determine current policy
  current CPU frequency:  Unable to call to kernel
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: no

I used rpm-ostree kargs to add amd_pstate=active, although with 6.14 it really shouldnt be required. That still hasnt helped. My BIOS has CPPC enabled. The frequency isnt an issue under Windows either.

What did you expect to happen?

Id expect a scheduler to be picked up and the CPU to boost properly.

BIOS is a bit over a year old but post 5800X3D release, obviously
