Question Ryzen 7 3700x keeps freezing because it keeps on overclocking itself for no reason. Anyone know how to disable OC?

Hey there guys. I recently made this pc about 5months ago and ive had this problem for 3-4months. Whenever im playing valorant my whole pc starts lag stuttering and its audio starts cutting out at the same time for like 5-10seconds. I saw a thread on the same thing happening to another person with a 3700x so I guess its just the CPU. I figured out with Ryzen Master and NZXT Cam that my CPU is running 4.4Ghz clock speed when I have my CPU set to the base 3.6Ghz. It got so bad to the point that it overloaded my PSU and cut the power to my computer. I don't believe this to be a PSU issue because it only happens when my CPU is max overclocking itself and makes my ECU max capped thus overloading my PSU. My CPU temps never go above 59 degrees so its not my CPU overheating. I need help because I cant seem to lock the CPU into a 3.6Ghz clock speed. It only overclocks on videogames and nothing else. Ive gone into the Bios and disabled precision boost but it is still happening. If anyone got some helpful tips to solve this problem I would appreciate it if you dropped by. Thanks guys.

The most power hungry component on your system t is the Rx 5700 XT GPU.
That GPU could jump from 15W to 240W and everything in between and unreliable PSU might not be able to handle that.

I do not think that the Ryzen 7 3700x running a single core at 4.4Ghz will cause a reliable 650W PSU to power off.
I would suggest you enabled Precision Boost since that helps a lot with game and single threaded performance. Installing the latest AMD AM4 X570 chipset drivers do help with a smother Precision Boost and power management.
The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X has a 65W TDP and when it boost it does not get above 75W. Even if you OC the
Ryzen 7 3700X and get all cores to run to 4.3GHz (I have done it) it won't even get to 100W usage.

If you CM 650W cannot handle the power consumption of Ryzen 7 3700x and Rx 5700 XT then you need to get better PSU.

I have installed hundreds of PSUs and none from CM...I have removed dozens of CM PSUs because of unreliable power delivery.
