CPU running at e cores clock speed?

Hi guys,
I have rebuilt my PC and I notice that all cores are running at e cores speed while gaming
I have updated everything, Windows bios and installed all drivers and it doesn't help
I have i5 14600kf with 6 p cores and 8 e cores
The p cores should run at 5.3 MHz
and the e cores at 4 MHz
but while gaming they all run at 3994 MHz
although the temperature doesn't rise more than 50 degrees
can you please help me? Thanks
Mainboard: Gigabyte b760 Gaming x

thank you for your answer but I noticed that in Msi afterburner 4 GHz is shown in p cores but in task manager and fps monitor the p cores are running at maximum speed and answer to your question I tried many games and it was like that everywhere: Dying light 2, cyperbunk 2077, Apex legends, Fortnite and warzone

I'll take a note on this; can you take a screenshot of the E-cores and P-cores while playing?
May I also know if your P-cores enabled in the BIOS?
