I recently upgraded my CPU to an i7 7700k on my Z170X gaming machine. Previously, I had an i5 before upgrading to 4.8GHz @ 1.295V. It performed well on real benchmarks for about 8 hours, but experienced crashes while playing COD Warzone. To avoid that, I gradually increased the voltage. Currently, it runs at around 65 degrees, though I don’t notice high temperatures during normal use. When booting up, my idle temps stay between 30-34 degrees, but I sometimes see spikes near 70 degrees on Core 1. I have a Kraken X62 liquid cooler, so I’m wondering if this is just a problem with this specific CPU. During stress tests, I saw temperatures in the 80s on any AVX tests.

I don't see anything wrong, if it's not broke don't fix it.
You open a program the CPU speed jumps up so the temp goes up. PC sees the speed is not needed for the program so it drops back down.
The gaming temp is more of a steady load.

the specs are as follows: cpu is an i7 7700k, ram is corsair cmk16gx4m2a2666c16r vengeance lpx with 16 gb (2 x 8 gb) in DDR4, ssd is a samsung evo 850 500gb, hdd is a seagate barracuda 2 tb internal hard drive with 3.5 inch sata 6 gb/s 7200 rpm, gpu is geforce gtx 1080, power supply is evga 650w p2, operating system is windows 10. i changed only the cpu and installed a nztx kraken x62 cooler, applied artic mx4 thermal paste properly. ambient temperatures are not precisely known, but it's quite warm in the uk, though an ac is used most of the day so it should stay relatively cool. it’s unusual since gaming doesn’t exceed 60 degrees, but opening programs like chrome or steam can spike to around 66 degrees and then drop back to about 30-35 degrees.

In Balanced mode, a single core operates at the maximum turbo speed, which means its temperature will rise more during multiple single-threaded operations. (With a compatible 'MCE' motherboard, all cores would reach their peak turbo frequency)
