I'm sending it back. If I'm paying that much for a processor, I really don't want to face any problems. I understand it's not a serious issue, but at 800 units I need it to run perfectly. Plus, the second chip I had was the one that would slow down the system when under stress. The 40-minute drive to MicroCenter each way wasn't worth it—I didn't want to keep dealing with that.
Consider testing at 5900x. Your problem looks unusual. Temperature rises are typical, but those spikes are unusually high. You might try setting a custom negative voltage offset in BIOS so the PC uses less voltage when the PCU is idle. -0.05 works well as a starting point.
