Hello everyone.
I'm aware that questions regarding CPU temperatures are quite common and in nature seem very familiar, so I would like to apologize if this question has been repeated often, in one shape or another.
Anyhow, here is my story.
I had to repaste my i7-8700k a few days ago. I have been monitoring my temps to make sure everything looked ok, however, I stumbled upon some frequent temperature spikes/fluctuation and was wondering if this was normal behaviour.
(As stated, my CPU is the i7-8700k and I cool it with the Noctua NH-D15. For the thermal compound I used Arctic MX-4.)
This is what the temperature spikes/fluctuation looks like when I was playing ARK earlier:

These spikes/fluctuations are what they imply and barely lasts a second before changing. This also happens when I am livestreaming my gameplay, however the average temperature of each core over a couple of hours seem to have no more than a difference of ~5c
This is what the temperatures looks like when I tested it with CINEBENCH:

Granted this is a little hotter than it usually runs where it usually runs at about 60-65 degrees celsius.
When I pasted it, I used a small pea sized dot which is what I used before too.
My question is: Is this normal behaviour for CPUs of this kind or do I have a cause for concern? I have an unused Noctua NT-H1 that I got with the cooler that I could try out instead.
Thanks for taking your time to read about my "issue".
Looking forward to any feedback.
