What is ASUS MultiCore Enhancement? Is it different from Intel's factory auto-overclock (base + boost)? Should I disable it if I'm concerned about system stability?

It is a turbo frequency overclock. It will push all 4 cores to run at enhanced turbo frequency which usually translates as a 400 mhz overclock. Post your specs for a complete answer.

I'm building a rig with a ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-H GAMING and i7 8700k with 850W Power Supply and Air Cooling. I was a bit concerned about stability. So the turbo freq is in addition to the Intel Boost stepping tech? It increases your base clock by 400mhz?? To be on the safe side, I'm thinking of turning it off because the CPU is plenty fast enough for present day games. Maybe in the future, I will turn it on to get a little extra time before build new rig again.

I'm planning to get a case with super well ventilated case with lots of extra fans. I'm not a fan of liquid cooling. I'll try my best to cool it with air, but I realize certain sacrifices must be made.

What's a heat pipe air cooler? I'm sorry but I've haven't built a system in a LONG time. Is it just a fan with heat pipes? Please post a link if possible.

Heat pipes are the copper tubes. They have liquid in them, and by putting a vacuum in the tubes the liquid can boil and condense at any desire temperature. This is called phase change, and it moves a lot of heat. Water loop don't use phase change. The water is always liquid. They just carry the heat somewhere else. The term" phase change" is usually applied to high pressure refrigerant systems (Freon) so it's often overlooked in heatpipe coolers, but it is going on there. The more powerful heatpipe cooler have 10-12 tubes carrying heat.
The Scythe Nija is a 120mm version, and will compete with many mid range water loops.
