I've posted about this specific little stutter issue I've had in the past, but that's not the focus of this post. for context, in most games there are some spots where my frames will drop by about 1-2fps and it will create a small jolt, which is variably noticeable at 59 and very noticeable at 58; if I loop back around and pass this spot again, it will stutter without fail
over the course of a month during June, I tried a lot to fix it but I've not been able to; however, I'm not looking for solutions to the stutter. instead, I've noticed that when passing a specific stutter spot in Dark Souls 3, my CPU temp will spike up, specifically the CCD1 temp in HWInfo; my CPU is a 5800x with Eco Mode 65w enabled for now, but the result is the same even with Eco Mode disabled

as you can see, the spikes in the CCD1 tab are from me crossing the stutter spot. the stutter in Dark Souls 3 is very negligible but I'm aware of its existence because I remember where it is from MSI Afterburner's frametime graphs; without fail, passing that location will spike the temp into the 60s, which isn't dangerous but it's odd. the clock speeds and voltages don't seem to react, they remain mostly the same. voltage does go from 1.2-1.3v to maybe 1.32-1.35v but that's about it, nothing huge on the graph
any ideas as to why this might happen? I tested some known stutter spots in Destiny 2 and the temps don't spike like they do here when passing through, in fact they hardly react at all. this is the only stutter location I know of in Dark Souls 3, because I haven't played it much on this PC so I've not had a chance to see where it does this as well
