All 6 cores going above 4.3ghz with multi-core enhancement disabled (i7 8700k)

How do I fix this? Using ROG Maximus Hero X. I disabled multi-core enhancement in the bios, and uninstalled aisuite. Not sure what else I need to do to get the cpu to run at stock speeds.
 
With MCE disabled, I've seen the multipliers of all 6 cores rise to x44, but they don't seem to be going past that. Here's some snap shots of what seems to be typical behavior.

I'm not sure why asking about turbo boost behavior is alarming to you. What I'm seeing seems to run contradictory to intel specs. As to your comment about my purchasing decisions, i7 8700k has a significant increase in performance over previous gens. I'm trying not to OC because the benchmarks I've seen for the 8700k seem to indicate that it runs just fine at stock settings and the power consumption vs performance gains for OCing doesn't seem to be worth it (you get something around a 9% increase in performance for a 30% increase in power consumption).

If anyone knows what's going on - if there's a setting in the bios that's affecting turbo boost functionality, I'd be glad to hear it.
