Hi. I installed an aftermarket cooler today - Hyper 212 Evo - and noticed a significant drop in idle temps. This was good, but I noticed my temperatures fluctuating pretty heavily.

Opening Steam for example sent it from 28 to 33 degrees immediately.

Running Passmark CPU tests had it go something like

29 > 38 > 31 > 44 > 39 > 31 > 44 > 51 > 54 > 40 > 35 > 39

Is this normal?
