So i overclocked the 8320 to 4.8ghz @ 1.42v but when I check my idle temps in hwmonitor they fluctuate like crazy and makes no sense. On idle il see 35c then itl drop to 25c go back up and at one point it hit 50c for a sec. Also when I watched it it would go like this, 32c 31c, 30c 29c 28c all the way down to 21c or so and then it skyrocketed back to 35c or so. Im guessing its just not reading the sensor correctly.

ah ok hmm so maybe checking it in the bios is the best way to see how the idle temp is. But then again I think it will only show cpu socket temp. Also wow these h110 fans are shit, one was making rattling noises as soon as i installed it the other one is ok.
