My Ryzen 5 1600 is returning to its base speed during startup, even though I'm overclocking from BIOS with enough voltage and the cooler is set to 3.7 on stock. When booted into Windows, it displays in CPU Z that it's running at 3.4. I need assistance!

Frequency changes according to the workload, unless AMD Cool N Quiet is disabled in the BIOS and the Windows power profile is set to Performance. It's best not to do either. You definitely don't want the CPU to run at full speed constantly. It should be able to cool the cores when the demand isn't high. As long as the CPU reaches its maximum frequency and core usage under heavy load, it functions properly.

You might also need to verify in the BIOS that the all-core frequency is set to 3.7Ghz. If only one core speed is configured, then when multiple cores are at full load, all cores will drop to the lowest setting.
Not sure how your BIOS is configured. Do you have your motherboard model number?
