Hello, guys;

This is are my specs:

CPU:Intel Core i7-4790K
MOBO:Gigabyte ga-z97x Gaming 5
GPU:GTX 980 (Gaming versions MSI or Gigabyte, any would be cool I guess)
Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler
RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM XMP
HDD: WD Caviar Dark 1TB
SSD: 850 EVO 120GB
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2
Case: Nzxt H440

I am using Open Hardware Monitor, and I haven't OC my CPU. My idle temps are weird, they go from 38 to 42, then to 51, then go back to 41, and so on, and I'm just browsing.

Is it normal for temps to fluctuate this much?

Also, in the part where it says bus speed all four cores are set to 4400mhz, is that normal?

I wish you could help me here. I have windows 7 ultimate 64.
