CPU Clockspeed Fluctuating?

[_Connor_]

I recently tried to overclock my i7 5820k from 3.30Ghz to at least 4.00Ghz, but decided to return back to the normal clock speed as I had issues with the PC restarting. However since attempting to overclock my CPU, I have noticed that my CPU clock speed is fluctuating and have no idea on how to fix this issue.

PC Specs -

i7 5820k

Gigabyte x99 UD4 CF

Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB)

Nvidia GeForce 980Ti

Corsair RM850 Power Supply

Is it fluctuating at idle or at load?

 

At idle its fine and perfectly normal(and as it drops to 1.2ghz im assuming it is at idle)

If its at load, what voltage settings did you change? 0.98 volts is too low.

The Clockspeed in the GIF is at idle.

I think the only reason i noticed the fluctuating clockspeed is due to my attempt at overclocking as I paided more attention to the clockspeed

And with the voltage I changed it back to the Auto setting in the BIOS

Ahh yeah thats fine then if you're at idle  nothing to worry about.
