I'm having some weird temps.

Not overclocked atm.

First off it seems to idle fine in the upper 20's, but sometimes it will say even 22C which is lower than my room temperature is. Several degrees lower.

When under 100% load it will randomly go from 60C or so down into the 30's and back up again within a second.

Then there is the package speed. It even hit 80C during the stress test. I'm not sure what the package temp is exactly. Looking it up people seem to say it is the core temp? But, the package temp is averaging about 20C over each individual core temps.

Is any of this concerning? And are temps too high already to overclock? Thanks for any insight
anyone can give on this.

Edit- Using HWinfo temps under load are averaging mid 60's to mid 70's. Hit 80C as max.

HWinfo shows temps idling in the upper 30's. And even hitting 80C in the stress test. Usually around mid 60's to mid 70's.
 


That sounds about right for the stock cooler. The mugen max is $36 and competes with the $90 Cryorig R1 Ultimate

I've got the coolermaster pro 4 with arctic silver 5.

I used the push pins on the coolermaster pro though because I for the life of me could not get the bracket to work. Tried it 3 times and the screws were to high to push into the screw fittings. I'm not sure push pins would make that big of a difference though.
