PC specs:
-i7 6700k (not overclocked)
-gigabyte G1 GTX 1060 6GB
-Asus Z270 Prime AR
-Crucial 2x8 GB DDR4 2400mhz
-EVGA G1 650w Gold
-240GB ssd (Operating system)
and most importantly:
-Cooler Master seidon 240p
I have had my PC for about a year now and last night I was playing rainbow 6 when i noticed my fps dropping, so I opened speccy and saw that my CPU was around 70-80 degrees (which is obviously not good considering that my CPU was only on about 40% usage and I have supposedly pretty decent cooler). I quit the game and the temp immediately dropped back down to an idle of around 30 degrees. After observing the temperature for a few hours i noticed that it would spike up to 50 when ever I opened an app or waited for a page to load and sometimes even randomly when I wasn't even doing anything. I then tried to see if re-doing the thermal paste and leaving the front of my case open would effect anything (which it didn't). Finally I decided that it could be a virus so I ran a free antivirus test only to find that my CPU went up to 90 degrees, at that point I shut down the computer and now I am here.
Just wondering if it could be something wrong/badly designed about my cooler or problem with CPU or something.
I am planning to get a cheap stock cooler to see if that makes any difference, so will update then.

Go into BIOS/Uefi and lock the core volt manually.
