My i7-6700k is/has been OC to 4.5ghz safely and tested with prime95.
While playing overwatch on everything max, without streaming using OBS, im a solid 55-61 degrees. The second I start streaming, the temp will say 62degrees then instantly jump to 78 for a second then maybe to 68 back up to 72 etc etc, it is sporadic every second or two. Is that too high of a margin?
Im also drawing a blank but I don't believe in the past they have ever been that high with the same setup, this started today. Could my thermal paste be going bad? I have a H110i GT, this whole build is 2 weeks old now. I have tested using HWinfo, coretemp, and realtemp, all show the same margin and jumpyness. All the while the CPU usage never goes above 60%, usually stays around 45-50%.
I feel like something may be wrong, anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT: Just retested with Prime95, my core temps never went above 80C with current 4.5ghz OC, and that is with 100% CPU load, so back to the question of why with 60% or less is it jumping up to high 70s
Next EDIT: Went back to 100% stock everything with my CPU/BIOS(clock etc etc), now while running the same programs,(overwatch on max, OBS while streaming to twitch, and chrome with same windows) I am never passing 50c on any core or in AI suite 3, no matter the temp program I use. I also tested using Prime95 Small FF test. every core sat around 70-72 average on 100% stock everything. I feel as though this may be high for stock?
My specs are i7-6700k, ASUS z170-a mobo, ASUS ROG strix 1070 oc edition gpu, I use 2x SP140 fans on my h110i gt cpu cooler, 1x 140AF fan as exhaust, and 3x AF120 fans as intake in a corsair air 540 case.
