Hello everyone,
I recently got to overclocking my Fx-6300 CPU. It is running stable (need to run more stress tests to be certain) at 4.2 GHz at 1.25V. Everything looks fine without any sort of hardware monitor but when I am at idle (around 30C) or when doing any kind of simple actions such as opening a word doc or Chrome, the temperature in the hardware monitor (I am using Afterburner) spikes sometimes upwards of 10 degrees, then cools down within a few seconds. From what I read on other threads, this might be because the CPU heats up faster than then the cooler can cool it, but as I said, I'm pretty new to this. Also at stock speeds the CPU did not have any of those spikes, so I am a bit concerned about it.
Thanks in advance
