I know CPU temps spike- mine seems to spike above max range when gaming. Well, I wouldn't want the system to shut down or reboot at every spike and lose game progress- is it normal then, and acceptable for the processor to jump above the mark?
I have a 3.8GHz Athlon II 760K (not overclocked), stock cooling and stock thermal gel. The max (from CPU-World.com) is 70c, I saw a reading of 80c in HWMonitor. Two things, though- I checked the reading not in game, but a few seconds after I quit. I didn't check it from BIOS after, but allowed it to cool. I wonder how accurate the 80c was? Right now, with just my web browser open, I am getting: 45 @present, 44 min, 58 max (I rebooted a few minutes ago; I entered BIOS and set the cpu fan mode to 'performance', vs 'standard' and 'full' [as a side note]).
