Hello, I'm just starting out with all this information. I'm curious about why my CPU isn't maintaining a steady speed of 4.0Ghz. I've watched some YouTube videos (like this one) and it looks straightforward, but my results don't match. In the Task Manager, the speed changes between 3.78GHz and 3.95GHz. My setup includes a Ryzen 5 2600, a Noctua NH-U12S cooler, and an MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard.

It accelerates when required and reduces its pace otherwise.
You don't have to keep it running at maximum speed continuously.

It adjusts its pace depending on power demands and reduces speed when not needed. You don't have to keep it running at maximum all the time. That makes sense, but does it really change the idea behind overclocking? My experience is different.

Usually this relates to the multiplier setting. It needs to be adjusted to a value like 40, which acts as a constant of 4ghz. If this isn't done properly, the system won't function correctly. CPU-Z is useful for tracking the speed multiplier.

It usually relates to the multiplier setting. This value should be adjusted, for example to 40, which corresponds to a constant of 4ghz. If it isn't configured properly, the system won't run consistently. CPU-Z is useful for tracking the speed multiplier. That's what I did—entered 40 in the BIOS and saved it—but the task manager shows the speed dropping below it.
