Hi.
I recently upgrade my CPU cooling to an EKWB 360 AIO. I ran 3DMark Time Spy Extreme (4k) and during the CPU test my temp spiked up from 80 C to 102 C then quickly back down to 80 C. Running standard Time Spy my CPU temp spiked up to 87 C at about the same spot on the graph. I had some fans blowing the wrong way so I fixed my intake/exhaust, reapplied thermal paste, and reseated the pump. After that I ran Cinebench multi-core CPU test while running HWMonitor. At the start of the Cinebench test my CPU temp (all cores) spiked up to ~95 C then stabilized at ~73 C. My idle temps are between 28 C - 40 C.
Here are my HWMonitor logs for CPU package and CPU cores temperatures during Cinebench test.
All my fans, including the pump, are set to PWM with smart fan mode enabled in BIOS.
Is this normal? Acceptable with a 3 fan liquid cooler?
My setup:
