This model only reaches up to 4.66 GHz, which is quite high for its class. Is that typical?

The description clearly highlights the performance limits of my system. Despite Intel's claims of a maximum Turbo speed of 5.1 GHz, my 10700K only reaches up to 4.66 GHz. I've kept the system at stock speed and avoided overclocking beyond that point. The BIOS settings were adjusted for proper heatsink detection and XMP profile enabled for RAM. Power settings are set to High Performance for better efficiency. I'm using the latest BIOS version with all drivers and updates installed. It's puzzling why the boost doesn't reach its full potential, so I'm open to suggestions or theories from others. For reference, here are my system specs: PCPartPicker link provided. Feel free to ask if you need more details! Thanks for your help!
Intel Turbo Boost sets your CPU to boost up to 5GHz across all cores when conditions are ideal. The 10700K models struggle to reach their claimed boost speeds because of heat and board limitations. Turbo Boost has become more intricate these days.
