New processor featuring unpredictable heat spikes
New processor featuring unpredictable heat spikes
Hello everyone, I'm experiencing some concerns with my new CPU. It's idling normally, staying between 51°C and 57°C, which seems fine. However, it occasionally spikes up to 70°C without any activity like gaming or photo editing. The cooling isn't very strong, making it hard to fit a cigarette roll between the GPU and the case, but after the spike it cools down back to around 52°C. I'm not sure if this is related to my problem. What might be causing this? Thanks a lot!
