CPU overclock despite normal BIOS settings

Currently running at 4,9 GHz at times, my 9700k is exceeding its base clock by 1,3. Which would be sweet if I had actually set it up (and had sufficient cooling, the problem here is overheating).
In terms of OC software, I only used Prime 95 as a stress test and MSI Afterburner for my GPU. In the BIOS (MSI z370 a pro) , OC Genie is turned off and the clock speed is set to auto, so how come I get 4,76 GHz on idle?

There is a settings named "MCE" or something along those lines, it turns the single core boost into an all core boost. Just diable the setting named "muti core enhancement (mce)" or something along those lines.

8700K @ 5.2ghz 1.29V, 4x8 Rev.E @ 4040 13-20-20-39 1.7V.
