i7-8086k not hitting 5GHZ

[joenscp]

I recently built a system with a i7-8086k@stock and a Antec K120 watercooler.

I've been playing BF1 and Assassins creed and the CPU does not go above 4400Mhz, I'm wondering if I'm overheating and so it's clocking down? Temperatures are around 69-85C in assassins creed as that game is very CPU demanding and uses 50-99% of it. In battlefield it uses less CPU mostly between 35-80% and temperatures are lower too, but again not going above 4400Mhz, and it should hit 5000Mhz with turbo right? The GPU is a gtx 2080 ti, and RAM is DDR4 3200Mhz.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

It will only boost to 5ghz when one core is active.
The more cores that are active the lower the boost clock.

So it's working as normal? I was just wondering cause on youtube benchmarks I will usually see the clock at 4900mhz or something, but then again they might have overclocked it.

Correct - either all core OC or the game is single/dual threaded.
