The specs show a high-end motherboard with an X570 CPU, 3900X RAM, 16GB GPU, and an 2080Ti graphics card. After overclocking the CPU to 4.3 GHz with 1.4V, it often drops back down to lower speeds like 4.1 or 3.8 when tasks are run or after some time, even though temperatures remain normal.

I’d reduce the voltage if I were you. No remarks on the issue you’re facing, but ignoring this could lead to bigger problems later. I’d keep it at the default setting until you’ve learned more. AMD hasn’t provided clear rules for manual adjustments, so I suggest sticking to stock performance. This 12-core chip is sensitive and advanced, with built-in safeguards—running it at full voltage ensures stability and longevity. If you plan to overclock, make sure you understand the risks first. Otherwise, a manual boost of 1.4V won’t be safe for Ryzen 3K.

I'm testing it now and it works at 1.375, but the actual draw is around 1.4. I believe the problem is insufficient voltage, which you're correct about.
