Ryzen 5600x Never hits 4.6ghz

Hello,

I was lucky enough to score a 5600x and after doing some benchmarks with both 3D Mark and R23 Cinebench, my CPU never hits 4.6ghz.  It always hovers around 4.1ghz.  On R23 single core it peaked at around 4.4ghz.  I'm pretty frustrated because it should be able to easily hit the advertised boost speed, correct?  This was with PBO enabled using Ryzen Master.  I'm running:

CPU: 5600x

Motherboard: MSI Gaming Edge Plus Wifi (Most up to date bios)

GPU: RTX 3080

32 GB 3200mhz ram running at 3200mhz using XMP.

Corsair rxm 850w Gold PSU

I saw another post about this and didn't see a solid answer.  Has anyone else been having these problems?  If so did you find a fix?  Is it a motherboard issue?  A cpu issue that needs to be RMA'd? 

Thanks!
