You have speedstep and C1E enabled in the BIOS. All it is doing is slowing the processor down when not in use to save power and lower temps. You can disable it if you want, but you won't notice a performance difference

You can also put the cpu under a load via Prime or something else and CPU-Z will show correctly while loaded.

I leave those features enabled once I'm done playing around with the OC numbers. Keeps the CPU running cooler when just sitting around.
