so i built a computer about a few months ago and my cpu temps were about 20 idle and about 30-40 Celsius while gaming. my friends pc however crapped out on him and so i sold him mine and built a new one (ryzen 5 1600x and an asus b350 f motherboard). i got it up and running fine, and i downloaded core temp to check to see if my water cooler was working properly (other computer i put too much thermal paste and there wasnt a solid connection with the pump) and the cpu was running at about 20 Celsius which i know is a safe temp. but it jumps about 9-10 degrees in a second and then floats back down to 20 and then a few seconds later, it jumps back up again, i know a bit of fluctuation is normal but 10 degrees?
edit: forgot to mention, when i stress test the cpu using prime95 the temps dont go over 35 celsius. the test was for like 5 or 10 minutes, wasnt really paying too much attention, just making sure my temps were at a safe level.
