[SOLVED] Intel i7 9700 thermal spikes

[sandijs11]

Hello everyone.

I finally got my hands on an i7, in fact, a 9700 (non-k) one.
The PC has an ASRock z370 Pro 4 motherboard and Patriot Viper 2x8GB 3200Mhz RAM.
It also has Deep Cool GAMMAXX L120 water cooler for the CPU.
After completing the build, something really threw me off while testing.

I ran multiple stress tests for a couple of hours, the temperatures for the CPU sat around 60-75°C.
Looks pretty good to me.
Then I opened up some games like CSGO, PUBG, the CPU temperature spiked up for a single second to around 84-86°C.
It happened during the loading period. Never after.
My ram is in dual channel mode with the stock XMP settings, but the 3000MHz default frequency changed to 3273MHz (like advertised).

Is this something I should be worried about? My friend told me there's something off.
Maybe I didn't apply the thermal paste correctly?

Please help!

There might be split second/momentary overshoot spikes where the voltage is higher than needed before or after a given load is applied, and, these are widely accepted as normal....

Okay, thank you very much!
