My i5 4670k is jumping from 800Mhz to 1400Mhz or even 3799Mhz when idling?!

Well, for a split second the CPU needs to run a process, so it boosts the frequency to whatever it thinks it`s neccesary.
If you are "idle", it doesn`t mean there`s absolutely no processes running in the background.
If your PC would be completely idle with no running processes, you would not be able to monitor any temps

if you haven't changed anything in bios than it is normal, it's a power saving feature and turbo, if you don't want it disable all the c states and intel eist in bios, that will make the cpu run at stock all the time except for times when it turbo kicks in

Yes I guess that makes sense
Thank you all for your answers

100% normal... The cpu never stays at one spot clock-speed wise, it should fluctuate when in idle. When you run a benchmark or any cpu demanding program and you look at the speeds then you will see it stays on the max speed allocated either by your overclock or turbo setting...
