I'm still not convinced there is a problem. From what i've read max turbo boost isn't sustained. It peaks at first then dials back, however i'd have to do more research to confirm this.
before i had a 8700k on the same sistem.... and i could run 5ghz on that with no problem... didn't had this "issue"... from what i see if i oc the cpu to 5ghz it drops to 4.7 when runing cinebench, if i oc to 4.9, it drops to 4.6 ghz when runing cinebench.
