At one point, while I was in the bios of my MSI X470 Gaming Plus, this setting enabled when I saved my settings. And now whether the actual bios setting says enabled or disabled for it, it is always on. My R5 2600 used to be locked on 4GHz, but now it goes really low and reduced my Cinebench score by around 500. What should I do to disable it?

In BIOS... the OC section...CPU Features sub-section lies the Cool-n-Quiet setting. If it's going really low to like 800Mhz it could be something else is throttling. For chasing benchmarks you should also make sure C-States are disabled, current limits and EDC limits are relaxed.
