Does CPU temperature rises gradually in BIOS after a successfull overclock?

I successfully overclocked my Athlon x4 860k to 4.3 gigahertz. Eventhough my P95 stability test yield ZERO warning/errors, I lowered it down to 4.1 due to temps and voltage concern. At 4.3GHz my max voltage peak at 1.450 plus and temps rises beyond 61 C. At 4.1GHz, volts can't go beyond 1.420 and max temps rise upto 58-60c max and never goes beyond that. While idle in windows, my CPU temp goes down between 33-36C. But while in BIOS, doing nothing, my CPU temperature rises every 5-15 seconds. Temps max out upto 60C while in Bios. Does anyone experience this to? Or this issue is just normal?

Here are my specs below.

CPU: ATHLON X4 860K
MOBO: A88XM-E45
RAM: GSKILL 2133C10D GXM
VCARD: SAPPHIRE R9 380 ITX
COOLER: COOLER MASTER SEIDON 120V PLUS

I wouldn't worry too much about those idk temps. Check what they are under load and if they are at a reasonable temp for your CPU you shpuld bd ok. Its weird they go up to 60 degrees idle. Check and see what voltages run at you might have it set to run the voltage you set all the time so there is no idle temp. Check around with your motherboard bios and see if you can find a setting that keeps it at max voltage at all times that may be what's happening.

The rapid temperature rise always happens when you increase the working frequency of the Cpu.

And the harder the CPU works in clock speed the more power to the core it requires.
So it`s not a surprise at some point the heat rises very rapidly.

Even with FX based cpus you hit a point of setting the core voltage for the cpu higher.
and it begins to heat up more rapidly.

Just check what the maximum thermal range of a 860K cpu is.
Before cpu throttle kicks in on the cpu. if memory serves me right it`s about 80c on a 860k cpu.
So your under it, if the cpu holds that temp under extreme cpu testing with prime 95.

If the 60c you say you get was not by using Prime 95.
I suggest you do not attempt a prime 95 test.
As it will add about another 15c to 20c on the cpu temps.

@djreedj... sad to say, my motherboard doesn't have vcore adjustments in BIOS. I tried adjusting it using AMD Overdrive, but my system goes unstable. I think, AMD overdrive does not fit well with my mobo. I'd uninstalled AOD then system is stable again. My vcore varies from 0.900 to 1.420. Depends on workload though. My temps in windows is between 32-36C on idle, and 55-60 while on games. But what bothered me most is that my temps in BIOS is rising every 5-15 seconds. How could that be? I'm doing nothing in BIOS. Is this normal in BIOS? On windows, my temps goes down while doing nothing.

Hi djreedj... Thanks for the reply... While staying in BIOS, processor temps gradually increases from idle temperature (28C-32C) to max temperature (58C-60C)... The increase in temperature gradually increase by 1C every 5-15 seconds... Though booting in windows, the temps gradually comes down and back to normal(32C-36C)... I notice this gradual increase in temps after i sucessfully overclocked my CPU... Also, i notice that if i reset all settings in BIOS to default, the temperature never goes up. Is this normal in BIOS if you overclocked your CPU?
