Hey! You're seeing those spikes because your Ryzen 7 3700X is getting hot during intense gaming. The temps jumping by 3-4 degrees in seconds is pretty common with a custom cooler like Shadow Rock 3. It doesn’t mean you messed up the thermal paste or placement—just that the cooler isn’t handling the heat perfectly under load. Keep an eye on the temps, but they should stabilize once the game ends.
It's perfectly acceptable and typical to play games on a Ryzen processor.
