Short bursts of rapid temperature changes.
You're experiencing unusual thermal behavior with your new PC. It's not uncommon for high-performance components like an i7-9700K to generate significant heat, especially during stress tests. The rapid temperature rise you described—from 27-30°C to 65°C in seconds—is quite intense and could indicate a few things. Make sure your cooling system is properly sealed and that the CPU is correctly seated. If you're concerned about overheating, resetting BIOS settings to factory defaults is a good precaution. Overclocking to 5GHz followed by a quick ramp-up to 90°C suggests your system is pushing limits, which can be risky. It's wise to monitor temperatures closely and consider adjusting cooling solutions if needed.
Great news! I was concerned because the graphs didn't display a slanted trend but instead a straight line between 28 and 80 degrees Celsius. Appreciate the clarification. Looks like I wasn't overly anxious.
