Real temp is freaking out

I'm running the IBT program and according to realtemp my cpu is spiking up to 3.4ghz fo 20 to 30 seconds at a time. I fired up cpu-z and it is showing 3.0 like it should be. Anybody ever seen this before or should I be worried?
 
I didn't think to take a shot of it. Real temp showed 3389.8 while cpu-z showed 3000.0 at the exact same time.3.0 is correct (7.5x400) It would stay like that and then drop to 3000.0. And the temp didn't spike up like the proc was running faster so I think I'll just call this a freak happening with realtemp.
 
its because cpu-z knows the multiplier, while real temp still thinks the multiplier is at default with speedstep causing the ups and downs. im assuming you lowered your multi and upped the FSB?

cpu-z is the accurate one, i wouldnt worry to much about it.
 
CPU-Z usually gives the correct reading. Try Everest to confirm.
