CPU clock speed changing rapidly

I recently overclocked my CPU and have installed a couple monitoring programs, AIDA64, CoreTemp and CPUID CPU-Z. I have noticed my clock speed jumping around every second. I have it set to 4.0 GHz but it sometimes goes as low as 1.4 GHz and then jumps to 3.2, 2.4, 1.9, all over the place.

So the question. Is it normal for your CPU's speed to fluctuate so greatly? Should I be concerned or is this just the CPU regulating itself?

The Turbo boost seems to be doing its part. Its completely normal, when the load is less, it auto-downclocks, and accordingly pushes up the clock with the load.

It's supposed to do that ... why burden the CPU id its experiencing no load.

Downlaod and run HWiNFO64 and RoG Real Bench ... run the stress test and watch core speed in HWiNFO
