Cpu Speed Jumping

[whimp]

I've noticed that the spped of my pentium D 820 jumps 10mhz to 2.90Ghz when i run my virus scanner and other applications

Is this normal?

Its normal, just happens sometimes, tho it can get severe under high temps. What are the temps under load?

 

If it deviates more than 10 mhz than something is wrong and this is called "throttling." This usually occurs under high temperatures

so then is it normal for the cpu you speed to go up i know that throttling lowers my cpu speed but mine jumps up

 

and under a full load my cpu temp is up at 68 C max

those temps seem kind of troublesome... yeah its nothing to worry about, but those temps can cause you problems later on when you use both cores...
