How to stabilise Clock speed on 3700x

I notice in CPU-Z my Clock speed jumping about constantly (PBO is turned Off) and jumping from around 2170 Mhz to 4316 Mhz and I'd rather have a stable clock speed all the time. my idle temps are hovering around 52 Degrees with a Noctua NH D15 - this is with all my usual Desktop applications Open and Internet running with multiple various tabs etc. task manager reports an average 15% load with what i normally have open. So for me, id like to stabiliser the clockspeed to get the temps down somewhat as 52 degrees idle seems high?
 
So just downloaded a few different software packages for measuring temps.

HWMonitor Records 47-50 ish idle currently
HWinfo Beta records CPU temp @ 46 and CPU Socket Temp @31
Ryzen master Records Current CPU Idle Temp as 37-40

So not sure who to trust tbh
 
The clock speeds moving is power saving, fixing your clock speed to max is going to use loads of electric and increase heat.

I didn't say anything about setting it to max, I just said about setting the clock speed so it gives an ideal temperature

I use hw monitor so looks like you are 10 degrees higher compared to mine.

I guess you could set speeds to a low value on the cpu, but why? It will mean poor performance. How is a fluxuating speed negatively affecting you?

Ideally I don't want it running hot all the time. Incidentally I found another thread on the forum stating that some other users are also experiencing high idle temps so at least I'm not alone and maybe a bios update may help the problrm
