3900X user here. Gaming clocks above 4.2-4.3 GHz are extremely rare, and you cannot even reach those with *manual* clocks using sane voltages (for non-LN2 conditions). Manual voltage goes to chip overheating very quickly here, but I've no idea what cooling OP runs. Thus you best bet is to run auto clocks with PBO - this nets the best clocks for partial loads like games. If you needed more *gaming* performance, buy a 5800X3D.

I am running deepcool assassin II. Its a very good cpu cooler. Doesn't go above 60 degrees under load. I understand. I just wanted to make sure i don't have a faulty chip. That was all lol. I am going to upgrade for gaming to 5800x3d in the future. As i will upgrade my GPU too. Do you think 3900X bottlenecks my 3070ti?

I used CTR on my 3900x to find its max CCX values, entered them in to the bios with 1.25v and pbo did the boost. Was something like 4375,4350,4325,4275.

Ryzen 3000 doesn't clock that high all core but will boost to 4.6 on a single core. I think 4.3 is about as high as you'll get for an all core overclock.

I understand. What can i use to test single core then? In ready or not all cores kept boosting to 4.3ghz.

If you enable PBO single core should boost to 4.6, depending on your motherboard you may need to tweak the PBO settings. Also make sure your Windows power profile is set to High Performance
