Have you tried enabling the XMP profile on the memory?

It almost for sure applies factory overclocking. I am not as used to the ASUS menus either, but enabling XMP and "Multicore Enhancement" are typically two options that lets the board do its own thing.

Typically I set the boost power levels and duration (sometimes they are set to unlimited/unlimited) even setting them to whatever your comfortable with the cooler handling (like 150W-200W) usually trims the top of the power consumption off but has little impact on real world performance.
