Im about to install windows 8 on my new pc, but the bios is showing my temperature on the cpu going from 30 to 50 fairly quick.

What temperature is too high, will my temp stop rising, and if not how do I keep it low?
 
Solution
50C is fine... now if you were getting up over 70C you might have an issue. Piledriver (the core design in the 760k) has wild temp swings... it's just how it works.
