Hey, I will just note that I have a stock cooler and no thermal paste; please do not say to get some as I shall when possible!
Now I have said that, I can get to my question. I have an i7 3770k and I am measuring its temperature(s) with MSI Afterburner. AB claims that my CPU jumps 10 degrees within half a second, the temperature constantly updates about 5 times a second, often going from 32 to 45 in a short period. Do these temps seem accurate? It claims my max temp while playing an unoptimised game is 75 degrees celsius. I just wanted to know if the above temps are accurate; it consistently going up and down by 10 degrees celsius or less within a second. While idle AB also claims my max is around 56 degrees celsius which I find hard to believe as my max GPU idle is about 35. Thanks!
