You are missing the point. I had already mentioned in my previous comment that the CPU is clocked at 1.42GHz no matter what settings I use other than the Advanced Hardcore Tuning Profile.
The System Modes like X-Mode, Dynamic, Ultra Durable and Advanced found in Armoury Crate are all bugged. All of them are clocking at the same 1.42GHz and there is no difference in performance and clock speeds when I activate X-Mode or set the Thermal Limit, CPU, GPU and RAM performance to all High in Advanced or Game Scenario Profile.
If changing the settings in Advanced Hardcore Tuning in Game Scenario Profile restores my performance to the original 2.84Ghz and activating X-Mode or Game Tuning doesn't, doesn't it already tell you that it is a software issue and not a hardware issue?
I am facing the same issue as the OP and I have recorded videos as proofs showing only 1.42GHz with X-Mode ON when previously when I first bought the phone I use to get the full 2.48GHz clock speed with X-Mode ON.
For now I am using the manual Advanced Hardcore Tuning Profile to work around this buggy firmware and restore the original performance that I am suppose to get with the X-Mode ON but even then the profile would not apply automatically. I have to first open the game then lock the phone using the power button and then unlock the phone and resume the game for the profile to apply changes or take effect for some games. So yeah it's a software issue.
And also the reason ARP_ASUS is not noticing any of this is because he's only playing games with light graphics that doesn't require much processing power and he's not checking his clock speed constantly or that he's happy with the performance he's getting or he might be one of the lucky few who did not get affected by the bug.

Totally agree, and a small clarification, there was no change of motherboard on my Rog 5, just the Firmware Update .210 and the integrated Armory Create.
For the moment mine is in factory mode ready for sale, so I have nothing more installed but I think that we must obtain better performance with heavy games or leaving them from Armory Create, by activating X-mode and 120 fps
Anyway I think there is nothing to expect from Asus, I went up a list of bugs again after the .210 update and it's the great sidereal vacuum in response.
Now, I can't even use it in By-Pass since it's mandatory by integrating the applications in Armory Create and the latter now prevents any application overlapping.
