So this is crazy... I have no idea what is going on. I just switched from a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO air cooler to an EKWB Predator 360... and now my CPU is going NUTS with crazy temp spikes and valleys that I have NEVER seen on air. Is this just how water works?

Any ideas as to why the crazy spikes? Or is it normal, and I just don't know it because I've never water cooled before now?
