[SOLVED] 7700K Higher temps at 50% load than at 100%

[masterdam17]

Ok so this is weird, my setup is as follows :

I7 7700K @ 4.7 | 1.28v
DDR4 @ 2400 NO OC
z270 Gaming 3 Gigabyte mobo
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L Cooler

My temps at load seem to be fine, never going over 80 degrees, always stable under 78 at most.
What goes wrong is when system is not a full load, cpu is at 50% or so while gaming or for example folding @ home.
Cpu temps spike to over 80 degrees for a second or so, temps go higher than those at 100%.
Anyone else is experiencing this kind of problems? Where mid load goes higher than full load?

Also, in games such as CSGO i get microstutter for lets say 500ms at least 1 per hour. Its just 500ms where screen freezes multiple times.
Im gaming a 144hz.

Thanks!

Temps seem OK for a smallish radiator, but are a tad higher than mine at the same clock speed. (my own gaming temps are usually mid-60's; are your gaming temps mid-70's right when firing up your system, or, do temps gradually climb by 10C over the hour as fluid heats up?)

Do you have 16 GB of RAM?

As for a stutter...All other miscellaneous process terminated before starting gaming? (Any sort of cloud sync action , WIndows OS patch download or background AV patch, file indexing, etc., can tie up resources and possibly tank your FPS for a brief interval.. (Or, the problem could be sync or marginal connection/throughput with an online server, meaning you'd chase your tail for an issue that might not even be yours; not every server online has perfect 800 Mbps connections)

If it is a process kicking in, if you stop the game immediately after a stutter, maybe LastActivityViewer will reveal a trace of something starting up at that precise time, it accesses a VERY detailed checkpointing log of everything occurring within Windows down to the hundredth of a second......
