i just upgrade from a 6700k to 9700k. i have noticed that i dont hit the base clock of 3.6ghz at idle. i recorded a video and its basically the same at idle when i didnt record the sample. i have power plan set to balanced. When set to high performance its steady at 4.6ghz when idle. seems to be boosting at idle - below10% utilization

normal??

 
I also just upgraded to a 9700K. The lowest speed I have seen Task Manager show is 1.84Ghz but the average is around 2.25 to 2.5Ghz at around 3-6% CPU utilization. HWMonitor shows the cores drop to 800Mhz on occasion. This is under the balanced power plan.
The default minimum processor state for the high performance plan is 100% which is likely why it is boosting at idle.

Well, you can change that setting in the power plan settings in Windows 10.
 
This is what im seeing in bios as current speed
