Go to your Power Plan in control panel ad set maximum processor state to less that 100% (99% for instance) and it should stay at base frequency.

1.Open Windows settings and click on 'system'
2.On the left, click on 'power and sleep' then click on 'additional power settings'
3.It then has a list of power plans.I use AMD Ryzen balanced. then click on 'change plan settings.'
4.then click on 'change advanced power settings' a little window will pop up saying 'power options'
5.scroll down to where it says 'processer power management' and click on the little '+' sign
6.click the little '+' where it says 'maximum processer state' and change it to '99%' then press 'apply' and 'ok'

Boosting a fewhundred MHz over base clock under load is normal behavior...for both Intel and AMD...and has been for many years.

I'd be careful on the 'fixing it'....
