Hey everyone! I'm new here. I just built a new PC and I'm looking at some huge temp fluctuations on my CPU. Im looking at an instant 20C - 40C increase to 70C - 80C for a split second before it drops back to 37C. Is this normal? I've tried reseating the cooler twice and got the same results.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

System:
I7 6700k
Asus Impact VIII
Cryorig A80 CPU Cooler
16GB G.Skill Trident Z
GTX 1080 SeaHawk

SigmaWolf,

Intel's specification for Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS thermal sensors within each Core) response time is 256 milliseconds, or about 1/4th of a second, so it's safe to say that Core temperatures respond instantly to changes in load.

Since Windows has dozens of Processes and Services running in the background, especially during the first few minutes after startup, it's normal to see Core temperatures fluctuating, so reseating the cooler has no effect.

Also, many unnecessary add-on startups or "tray trash" from software installs typically use CPU and memory resources as well. Live tiles in Windows 8 and 10 further contribute to Core temperature fluctuations. Many instances of tray trash can be safely...

Many instances of tray trash can be safely removed from Windows Startup, which will help to reduce Core temperature fluctuations.
