I hope it's not common.I'm going to take a wild guess and say the turbo v8 isn't really working correctly.
Or is this common?
Looks like a big bug to me. At least 3 of your 4 cores look correct.
Maybe I can blame this on Windows 7.
On most motherboards at full load, the results are very consistent. PM me a big chunk of your i7 Turbo log file so I can have a closer look. If you copy and paste it into a message just use the code html tags before and after the data enclosed in square brackets [] like this:
[codeX]
paste data in here
[/codeX]
Remove the X in the html code tags. This will make it easier for me to have a look.
You can also upload the log file to somewhere like SendSpace and send me the link.
Edit: I made a quick update to i7 Turbo V8. It should show up as version 6.3.

Hopefully this tool can show you if your multiplier is steady at 21 or not.
One random value can be ignored but continuous multiplier values below 21 is a good sign of turbo throttling. If there is a problem, I like looking at the log file to get a more accurate picture of what's going on. If you continue to get random values then try turning off CPU-Z and see if that makes a difference. I haven't had any feedback yet on the newest version (1.52) of CPU-Z and how it effects i7 Turbo.
