Cpu temp jumping 63 to 70 C under load.

[Cory Allen]

Hiya folks. I dont know if Im having an issue or not. I use core temp desktop gadget to track my temps and I find doing benchmark tests that the temp jumps around. I know 62 degrees is the ideal temp under load so when it jumps to 70 and back down sometimes I worry. It nevers stays at the high temp its a split second before it jumps back down. Like right now its holding at 64 degrees. Here is my spec list
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 HDMI USB 3.0 uATX AMD Motherboard
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo)
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 960 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB
ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 Cpu Cooler
Corsair HX650 Power supply
Windows 7 X64 Home Premium
Cheap 29.00 Rosewill case

So Im wondering am I using the wrong software, is it this case, or can it be the default thermal paste that came already applied to the aftermarket cooler. If its the case I have no problems taking off the side and throwing a clip on fan on the side 😀 Best cooling feature ive ever used XD. Thanks in advance for your replies !!!!

70C is normal for your CPU.
AMD CPU's do run hotter, and thats OK because they were designed to run at that temp.

That CPU temp is completely fine I game at around 66-67 degrees at 4ghz. So for you CPU its fine. Try downloading CPUID HWMonitor and look at your temps with that software.
