I did the ai overlock on my Asus z390a motherboard. I’m just wondering if it’s normal for my cpu speed to be constantly jumping from 3.5 to 4.5 and in-between under no load. I have an i9 9900kf with all my power management set to balanced 

I'm no master at overclocking, but I would think you should have your power management set to High Performance

Chances are, even if you are just on the desktop with no applications open, you will have tasks happening the background. Those tasks use CPU resources, causing your CPU to boost up and down. If you said this behavior didn't happen before overclocking, we may have a different issue here.
