Question 1800x overclock

[Syphonex]

so I overclocked my ryzen 7 1800x to 4.1ghz and i went to task manager to see the performance and its saying the speed is around 3.5-3.7ghz. WTF

It all depends on Bios settings and if the system is under load. Run a stress test like AIDA64 or Prime95 and check your frequency then in Task Manager.
What other changes did you make in Bios.?

High Performance mode enabled in power options? What about XFR and Precision Boost settings in the UEFI?

It's very normal for cpu's to do this; When you're not using the CPU to the fullest, it doesn't have a need to clock high, so it just clocks lower. When you start actually using the cpu(eg. through a stress test or rendering etc.), you'll see it'll stay at 4.1GHz.
