Spiking

My CPU temps welling loading into certain games or playing them spike up to 90-99˚c but immediately go back down to normal gaming temps around 40-55˚f. Room temp changes but even on a cold day it will spike high. Is this normal or cause for concern? Parts list: i5-13600k Deepcool AK620 MSI...

Hi guys, I hope y'all doing awesome. I'm having this weird problem on my PC whenever i play games. I've noticed that sudden freezes/stutters happens every now and then (specially when it's loading a new area). So i opened MSI and checked temps and CPU/GPU usage, with that I've noticed that CPU...

When I'm browsing and when I shut down the computer, my HDD seems to spike to 100% for a 5-8 seconds before going back down to 1-5% again. I'm not sure why this is happening, it only started to happen after I had started to play a heavily modded video game (TES Oblivion) which was like a week...

Hey guys, Long time lurker, first time poster so if I'm doing anything wrong let me know. So I recently bit the bullet and bought myself a Ryzen 7 5800x and I'm absolutely chuffed with it. Thing is I've been hunting for cooler temps after seeing my cpu jumping around the 80 - 89 mark in some...

I have had this pc setup for about 5 months, and the regular usage usually rests around 30% CPU and 50% GPU while running consistent graphics settings (which I have not changed). No...

There hasn't been a long time since i last upgraded my pc. I bought RX 570 8GB and downloaded the latest versions. Recently, I've put on a SSD M.2. Before and after the installation of the m.2, my PC was spiking in games very much. I checked the usage and it was VERY unstable. Usually droping to...

A couple of days ago i just finished building my computer but i've been having this problem that driving me crazy. My gpu, Gtx 980 Ti G1, stops posting image randomly and i can't get it back without turning the pc off completely. But even if it doesn't post image, the gpu is still running ( I...

is it ok to touch the bottom of the CPU (intel)? My school technician says he has touched them countless times and hasn't had any problems with them whatsoever. Is it ok?
