Why is my CPU temperature spiking?
Post Body
Hello once again all. I got my i7 4790k installed about a week ago and for some reason i've been noticing odd temp spikes. For example, when doing mundane browsing tasks or when idle it will usually hover around 35 Celsius for a few seconds, then jump to 56 then 45 then 60 etc. for a bit and level out around the 30's, then repeat. Whenever I do heavy gaming like BF4, it will stay around 70 Celsius. Is this normal? I have a Hyper 212 Evo on it and it is overclocked to 4.6ghz
