Weird CPU temps

My cpu goes from 60 to 70-75~ in spikes which seems a little odd.
Also, it seems high considering i have AIO cooler (nzxt kraken x62) .
Is the clock speed on the intel tune utility accurate? because i don't remember overclocking even though I want to. (says 4.3ghz, base is 3.7)
My CPU is I7 8700K

The CPU will boost up to a higher speed when it is needed so the base clock of 3.7 & boost of 4.3 is correct. As for the temps they are quite warm with that cooler but if you have a high room temp then that can attribute to it. Try CoreTemp to double check your CPU temperature.

One second the temp is 50 and then it jumps to 70~ and vice versa with CoreTemp.
Temp atm is 20.
