I have an Intel i7700k Kaby Lake CPU. I have not overclocked it. It officially has 4.2GHz max speed, but I've seen it reach 4.5GHz in the task manager.
When playing a game on ultra (Mass Effect: Andromeda), I saw that all 4 cores were in the high 70s Celsius, sometimes hitting 80. When I exited the game, temperatures fell to the 40s Celsius almost instantly. Is that type of instant drop normal?
Are those temperatures safe? At what temperature should I start to be concerned that my CPU cooler is not doing its job (or that I installed it improperly)?
My cooler is a Corsair H100iv2 liquid cooler, and I'm using the Corsair Link to monitor the temp.
