CPUZ issues

I'm using the ROG cpuz software that came with Asus Z170 Hero Alpha.

 

The multiplier is fluctuating x8 upto x42 and everywhere inbetween.  Upon entering bios I don't see any difference but what would cause this?

 

115 solid volts showing up on the UPS.

 

Thoughts?

That's called intel speedstep technology. It turns down the CPU frequency when you don't need it.

Don't worry, in demanding tasks it will stay at the highest multiplier.
