Over clocked my 8320

[andyl49]

So I decided to do a basic over clock on my 8320 but I noticed that when I look at the clock speed in CPU-Z, the core speed fluctuates between 1404mhz and 4012mhz when I'm not doing anything is this normal?

I'm guessing its ok as I tried playing a game and it stayed at 4012mhz and max temp at 51

Yes, that fluctation is normal, the CPU adapting to the speed needed, to save power, and keep heat in check.

Ahh good, i did think it was something to do with some sort of power save otherwise its running at 50 degrees constantly. Thought i'd best check! Thanks
