I have the Intel Core i7-8700 CPU(non K version) and it's constantly running at much hicher clock speeds than it's base speed and I was wondering if that's normal?

Yes, that's actually a feature called Turbo Boost. According to the official intel documentation the i7-8700 (non-K) has a max turbo boost of 4.6GHz so you're well within spec.

For extra info: How much your CPU boosts depends on many factors like utilization, power delivery (do you have a good PSU?), and cooling solution.
