Holla.. A week ago installed fresh build, with new z690 mobo and i9 12900k, til today everything was okay, temps were 60 in games.. But suddenly temperatures started to spike between 60-80.. Like.. one moment it is 60, then 65, then 72, then 63, then 70 and etc... Thought maybe it happens in one game, so tried another 2 games, same thing.. Any ideas? FPS are fine, no drops or something. Temps checked via MSI afterburner. No overclocked parts.

Describe the cooler.

Air?

Liquid?

Brand and model?
Corsair H150i Elite capellix.
EDIT: now noticed, that in game, temps stays at 70+, and jumps sometimes to 82 even. Even 70 are too high. Cooler failing? :/ IDLE always around 35. Usage in games 30-50%.

EDIT: tried reinstall windows - nothing. Tried reapply thermal paste - nothing. Actually noticed, that CPU usage also higher, spikes to 65%. Maybe CPU itself failing?
