i5-7600k Temps Seem a Bit Weird

I recently built my new computer and I think the CPU temps aren't necessarily bad, but they just seem weird. My cooler is a Scythe Ninja 4 that is known to be pretty good. My load temps are decent for not being overclocked (yet) at about 52 degrees Celsius. The weird part is that my idle temps are about 40 degrees Celsius which I don't like because my old i5-3450 got about 30 degrees Celsius on idle with the stock cooler. Did I do something wrong installing the cooler and should I be worried about overclocking?

Hardware monitor will show frequencies as low as 800mhz but then ramp up to the turbo at 4.2 ghz randomly with nothing running. It won't stay at 4.2 but the frequencies just keep going everywhere in between without stabilizing at a certain number.
 


normal.....

So it's normal to bump up to 4.2 with 1% CPU usage? And it's not just a bump it will stay up there for a while.
