Problem with preferred core on 5900x

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone is able to help me figure this out, my 5900x is almost always boosting on the last core, almost anything I do in windows (even simply moving the mouse) causes usage on the last core, and it's almost always boosted to 4.75GHz
Been trying to figure this out since cores like 4 and 0 which are my best cores barely get used in comparison, and if I'm reading hwinfo correctly, the last core (core 11) is one of the worst cores.
If I turn PSS Support off this doesn't happen, but then it seems that the cores it will use are completely random when I do that. I've currently been overclocking and even while stressing single cores, core 11 continues to boost alongside the core I'm stressing and have around 7% usage the whole time it is stressing the other core.
I really haven't a clue why this is happening but I figured core 0 and 4 should be the most heavily used by default from what I understand

Thanks for this, after reading I feel a little better, still find it a little strange since it barely uses anything other then that core, I'd understand if it was simply preffered but every other core is almost idle next to core 11.
I guess I'm not fully understanding, but it's also that the CPU seems to be underperforming in games, and seems to improve if I disable 1 CCD. Also still just jumps out to me that it's the very last core, I guess I should just ignore that and try figure any other reason for it underperforming. Thanks again for the link.
