[SOLVED] Task Manager shows Speed Far Above Base, But Turbo Is Off I Think?

I have a i5 10600k in a MSI Z490

It's currently overclocked to 5.0 ghz. My intention is for turbo boost to be off, but task manager is showing speeds of around 6 ghz? With my current understanding this shouldn't happen if turbo boost is actually off, did I miss a setting or am I just misunderstanding and all's well?

The way I turned it off in the BIOS is by setting "Enhanced Turbo" to "Disabled" in the Advanced CPU Configuration.

Solution
check your speed using hwinfo, task manager has been known to be wrong.
It never knows what speed my 3600XT is running at.

Sorry, just noticed I forgot to respond (thought I had immediately, thanks for the reply. You're indeed correct, was as simple as that. I overrated task manager and got HWINFO instead.
