4770k on Z87X-UD4H stuck at 3.8ghz

I have an odd issue here, I was overclocked for a while at 4.2ghz but after some stability issues decided to go back to stock. I've never had an issue before but in the bios, all possible settings for overclocking are turned off. When I first enter the bios, under cpu status it shows 3.8ghz, if I go to the menu and set the multiplier to 35 and hit save, it shows as 3.5ghz. But once I save and enter windows, all cores are always 3.8ghz. Even in Cpuid HWMonitor and cpu-z. It seems like no matter what I set it to, once I'm in windows it's stuck at 3.8.

Below are specs and screenshot of hwmonitor and cpuz showing that it's not turbo boost since all cores are always at 3.8.

 

I don't mind that it's at 3.8 because that's under the turbo boost freq, but I've been getting some weird audio issues as well as sometimes videos on youtube/floatplane appear very distorted and stop playing after a couple seconds. A few reboots seemed to fix the audio/video issues but I don't want to keep rebooting in order to use my pc.

 

Thank you for any suggestions and reading my post

It's enabled, that was one of the first things I checked. I think this mobo might just be shot.. most days when I boot up it will randomly hang before post, or tell me an overclock failed (even though I don't have one set) or my usb ports don't work for 5 minutes once booted into windows. Guess I'll hit up ebay for a Z97
