Because your cpu was overheating it throttles itself back to keep a save temperature, as well to save power.
Being properly cooled again, it'll be fine.

Stick your stuff back to stock and leave it be. Speedstep is doing what it needs to do and your CPU does not need to be at 100% frequency all of the time. Your CPU will only turbo boost on 2 cores, and will only go to the full 3.3GHz if you have more than a 50% load on it. If you're browsing Chrome and nothing more than it's supposed to be at a low frequency.
Also if you tried overclocking with the bclk you're taking a big risk at making your PC severely unstable.
If you want it to stop dropping, then all you need to do is turn off Speedstep and the C states in the bios.
