i have an i7 8700 without K, and recently noticed that even with XMP enabled, the CPU remains stuck at 4.30 GHz instead of the expected 4.60 GHz.

4.6ghz represents the upper limit for turbo frequency per core, roughly.

Playing on a single core can be either good or bad depending on the task. If you're unsure, start simple and see how it performs.

Your processor is functioning correctly. No need to be concerned.

Adjust the settings to optimize performance. The system will utilize multiple cores as required, scaling up to the appropriate level based on your hardware capabilities. XMP refers to an Extreme Memory Profile, designed specifically for your RAM.
