Question Question about CPU speed

[Breeki]

Hello, I have a question regarding my CPU

Recently bought a Gaming computer and i am using the i7-8086K which has a core speed base of 4.00ghz.
But my processor is running at 4.89-4.97ghz speed monitored via the taskmanager. Even currently when i am typing this..

I have not done any overclocking or some sort so I find it a bit strange.
I am using the High Performance power plan in Windows but I have set my minimum processor state as default 5%.
Also Multi-core Enhancement is turned ON in my BIOS.
Also in the bios I have an option 'Cpu Upgrade' which is set as default (AUTO)

The Question : Is it normal that my CPU runs above the advertised core speed without oc ?

Also Multi-core Enhancement is turned ON in my BIOS.

This is basically auto overclock,the motherboard runs your CPU with the single core turbo clocks applied to all cores as long as cooling allows.

Would it be better to choose a manual CPU upgrade option in the BIOS?
For example, i can choose i7-8700 4.1ghz up to 5.00ghz also there is an option to use i5 even an i3 option
but i suppose i wouldn't want to disable any of my cores though..

I turned off Multi core Enhancement and still on desktop my cpu runs above the base clock speed.
Isnt it supposed to run ~4.0ghz?

Leave it alone, it is not overclocked. The 8086k has a turbo boost of up to 5.0Ghz. It is working per standard configuration. It boost when it wants the extra performance and the thermals and power are within safe levels for it to do so.

As Sizzling says - just leave it alone, it's a built in turbo boost as a completely standard out of the box configuration.
Leave BIOS values alone - it's not overclocking.
