I've never noticed this before, so I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but it seems strange to me. If I open up CPU-Z, and am at full idle with no other programs running, it shows my CPU speed jumping around erratically from 1600-4200 and everything in-between. It makes a jump around once a second. So it will look like this...
1600
3100
4200
3000
2899
3200
1700
etc. etc. all in the span of a few seconds
I have an I5-3570K OC'd to 4.2 GHz, and an AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 Mobo.
