CPU Temp jumps 40 degrees instantly

[Thril3r]

Hello everybody, I'm a little worried about my pc. Short story, I've move and took my pc with the plane in a luggage. Dissembled the big components (radiator, GPU) and put them back when I've arrived. I also changed the thermal paste.

The problem is that my CPU Temp is jumping and it didn't had this problem before. Do you have any ideas why is it doing that? Some of my thoughts were:

1. Thermal paste is garbage
2. The sensors are broken
3. The radiator wasn't set correctly, but I already checked that and it's in the right place.

Take a look:

Usually when i have jumps like that it's because my cooler isnt making full contact with the CPU... whether it be brackets in the rear of the motherboard or front thumb screws not set correctly.

my 6700k also jump, though between 30-50 degrees. That is usually cus of delay with my cooler.
Check the overclocking sticky on tomshardware forum, it says something about not using a specific version of prime95 cus it will result in about 20 c above a realistic load.

Go to Section 11 - Thermal Test Basics, then see the Note in that Section.

Do not use Prime95 versions later than 26.6, such as the most recent version, 29.4, which runs AVX code on the CPU's Floating Point Unit (FPU). AVX can cause unrealistic temperatures up to 20°C higher.
