CPU clock going higher than boost clock without me changing anything

So recently I started noticing that my boost clock is not working as intended. Normally I would never see readings above 4397 MHz, and that's where it would sit while gaming. Now this is what I see after playing games for a little while. My temps are not affected at all and there are no stability issues with the PC, my clocks are just going higher than they are supposed to. Is this normal? I can't seem to find any other topics about this happening to other people. Would clearing the CMOS fix this issue?
 

The BIOS says max turbo frequency is 4400MHz. This just started happening though, so wouldn't I have seen the sensor glitch since I started using the PC?
