CPU Temperature "Jump"
Hey guys. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
So I'm playing a game (Bioshock) on my new rig. I kept up HWMonitor just to check what the temperatures were after playing.
After 20-30 minutes of playing, I closed it down. The CPU temps were hovering around 50-55 Celsius. However, my max temp column read around 70 for one of the cores, and 80 for another. I got no warning messages, the machine was and still is running fine, and the temps have since cooled down to their normal 25-35* range, depending on the core and what I'm doing.
I shut down the machine, and checked it. There are no wires or anything that would obstruct airflow anywhere near the CPU. I upped the fan speed on my two fans to medium (They were on low).
Should I be concerned about the temperature jump, or is that fine, as long as the temperatures stay around 50*?
