CPU idle temperatures and some unusual issues?
CPU idle temperatures and some unusual issues?
Curious about these idle temperatures. I'm running an i5 7600k OCed at 4.5 ghz. There are occasional spikes even when idle, and during load it usually reaches around 70 to 77 degrees Celsius, with only rare exceptions. I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, and my fan curve is set quite high—50% at 40°C and case fans at 50%. The other part of this issue involves a strange problem I encountered before; I don't remember exactly how it was resolved. Sometimes a program diverts attention from the active window. When playing a game, it minimizes or takes me out of fullscreen, and when browsing, I have to click back on the page. It occurs twice in quick succession and doesn't happen again for hours or until the next day.
times are in acceptable ranges and appear fine
if you're using Windows 10, verify there are no pending updates. Automatic updates could be the reason, since the alert might exit games quickly and return you to the desktop

Idle isn't completely idle; background tasks are active and consuming CPU.
I thought it was normal and didn’t have to worry, as long as the load stays relatively steady, you should be okay.
Recently, after overclocking, I noticed a sudden frame drop while playing GTA 5. It usually runs above 100 with everything at maximum, but it dropped to 70, causing brief stuttering.
I checked Afterburner and saw that the GPU usage decreased whenever that happened. (I have a 1080 Asus Strix.)
I’m not sure what’s causing it since the CPU temperatures didn’t change much.

temps sont dans des limites sûres et semblent bien
si vous utilisez Windows 10, vérifiez s'il y a des mises à jour en attente. Cela pourrait être des mises à jour automatiques qui provoquent le problème, car la notification vous sort directement des jeux vers le bureau.
Maintenant que je réfléchis, cela aurait pu être la notification de mise à jour... Je dois maintenant savoir comment arrêter ces alertes.
GTA 5 was an unusual choice for my overclocking attempts. My system had remained stable during stress tests and other games. When GTA 5 arrived, it caused repeated BSOD errors. I had to increase the voltage slightly on the overclock to resolve the issue. This might mean your OC needs some adjustments.

Idle isnt perfectly idle, background processes are running taking up cpu.
Id say normal behavior and naught to worry about. as long as load is relativly stable, you are fine.
Today when I overclocked I saw some sudden frame drop when playing GTA 5. Usually runs above 100 with everything maxed but saw it drop to 70 which caused stutter for a split second a few times. I looked at Afterburner and the only thing I can tell that was happening was GPU usage sank whenever that happened, (Ive got a 1080 Asus Strix). Not sure what is causing it since cpu temps didnt change at all.

GTA 5 was an odd one when it came to my overclock
My system had been rock solid stable through stress testing and every other game.
Along came GTA 5 and boom, repeated BSOD. I had to up the voltage a little on the overclock to fix it.
It might suggest your OC needs a little tweaking.
Agree, GTA V is pretty cpu intensive so might not get the juice it needs from your current overclock.

En réfléchissant, cela pourrait être lié aux notifications de mise à jour. Il est devenu plus difficile d'arrêter ces alertes dans Windows 10.
Vous pouvez atténuer le problème en modifiant la politique de groupe pour les mises à jour. Appuyez sur la touche Windows + R, sélectionnez gpedit.msc, puis configurez les paramètres de configuration administrative, les templates administratifs, les composants Windows, les mises à jour, puis configurez automatiquement les mises à jour. Choisissez 'activé' et ajustez le menu déroulant pour configurer l'auto-déploiement sur 2, avec une notification pour le téléchargement. Appliquez les modifications.
Cela réduit l'alerte sans l'arrêter complètement, et après un lancement, la première alerte ne vous sera plus affichée pendant quelques minutes. Ou bien, installez régulièrement les mises à jour.
