Question Turbo Boost on my i7-11700T is stuck at 3.60ghz ?

During a benchmark I wouldn't expect the top single core speed.

Vast majority of T class CPUs end up in OEM systems. OEMs can manipulate the power allotment in small form factor machines so that the minimal cooling available is adequate. They also do this sometimes with standard CPUs in normal slim Micro chassis as well, because they cheap out on the motherboard cooling or VRM design and don't want the CPU to pull its maximum wattage.

It should be able to go even faster (4.6 Ghz)

What are the complete specs for your system (make/model of ALL installed components)?

motherboard: Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X
ram: DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB(16GB x 2) 3200Mhz
PSU: Silverstone Gold 750w
Cooler: Deepcool Neptwin V2 (my temps never go above 60c on full load)

I have tried messing with the bios but i am still stuck with max 3.60ghz

Go here and get the free version. Run PerformanceTest.

Even though you may not be seeing any apparent cooling issues, if not tightened properly the heatsink will not effectively cool the CPU. When this happens, the CPU will throttle itself for protection.

This is a fairly common issue as users are afraid to damage something when attaching some coolers.

above 3.60ghz using ThrottleStop app but i am scared

Nothing to be scared about. Post screenshots of the main ThrottleStop window, the FIVR and TPL windows. It is quite possible that either Windows or the BIOS is not setting your CPU up correctly. ThrottleStop can be used to troubleshoot and fix many of these problems.

Check the ThrottleStop C States window when idle. These CPUs need to have the C states enabled in the BIOS so they can reach maximum turbo boost.
