Hey Everyone

So i just finished my new build.

When i am in command center, my clock is set to 100 and the ratio 40. 4 ghz. No overclock just stock.

But when i am just sitting there idling, my CPU's clock speed/ratio in the Command center CPU frequency section, keeps jumping up and down.

It goes from 900ghz-4000 ghz and just keeps cycling between them.

Anyone have any idea what this could be? Or maybe this is just normal? This is my 3rd build ever, but first i have used something like command center to monitor anything.

Thanks in advance
