Zammin,
Patience my friend. Don't pay attention to views as most are people looking for either personal knowledge, or to troubleshoot there own PC
It's always possible there were changes in new bios that affect operation in unexpected ways, is your bios on all default settings (F5)? If you've made any changes it may have changed how it functions
Also the CPU speed is constantly changing at an extremely fast rate so you may not always be able to see the changes in software
Full detailed specs, monitoring software, and test scenario, and bios screen shots do help when troubleshooting from a distance
You have a very good motherboard (one of the best) and I am sure you can get it operating in top form and be very happy, let's take it slowly and get it correct

Okay I have an update on this.
I tried the new BIOS. MCE is still doing nothing. Here is the system at idle and under full load (cinebench) with the BIOS set to optimised defaults (MCE enabled/auto).
Idle:
100% Load:
Looks like Intel default speeds to me...
I have been talking to the US ASUS tech support and so far it has been incredibly frustrating as they don't seem to understand MCE.. I even linked them the same videos I posted above which show that MCE runs the 8700k at 4.7Ghz in Cinebench 100% load on the exact same motherboard I have. These are the responses I got from them:
"For Multi Core Enhancement feature in the BIOS, it's a feature which will synchronize the VCORE of all cores. If disabled, it will follow the stock setting which Intel turbo rule things like 39 on one core 35 on the other 3 or 38 on two cores and 35 on 2 or 36 on all four."
"Regarding the MCE I just want to verify if have you performed any overclocking? Because upon checking if the MCE is set auto this item will allow you maximize the overclocking performance. If you set it to disable this item allows you to set to default core ratio settings."
"For the MCE, the maximum turbo is 4.7Ghz but it only achieve in some situations like light loads and single thread applications. Otherwise, during heavy loads with all threads, it will run at 4.4/4.3Ghz.
See below for example: "
The image above that they provided me is just a table of Intel default speeds... They still have not answered the question I am asking over and over again which is "Why is MCE not working?". Enabling or disabling it sees the same speeds on my system but everyone else gets 4.7Ghz. No matter how many times I say this they just don't seem to understand.
Can any of you guys help me? Is this enough information? Can someone else with the same motherboard try loading optimised defaults and tell me if you get 4.7Ghz with MCE in Cinebench?

Have you tried monitoring the core speeds using, HWinfo, AIDA64, or an app where you can monitor all cores separately at the same time so you can view the different speed of each core if left on defaults? I don't think you can see it in CPU-Z
