High CPU Temp Spikes

[LOUnatic]

Hey guys and gals. Ive noticed in this game on the loading screens between parts of the map or before and after missions that my CPU core temps will spike for just a second or two (specs below).

While running around the map I sit at about 48-53 on the hottest core but will spike to 62 or sometimes even 65 when at a load screen.

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks in advance.

My rig:
4670K @ 4.2 ghz @ 1.19 vcore
Hyper 212 Evo push pull with 2 2500 rpm mac Corsair SP 120's
MSI Z97 A SLI Krait Edition
EVGA GTX 970 SSC
8gb Crucial Balistic ram at 1600 mhz
Games on a 2 TB WD Black
All in an NZXT H440

Correct me if im wrong but those number indicate an overclocked CPU correct?

Correct. It is OC'd. Out of the box the 4670k runs at 3.4 with Turbo Boost to 3.8.

OC101: A temporary spike in CPU usage is going to cause a temporary temperature spike.
A 4670@4.2 with Vcore 1.19 is bordering on unstable. So expect more... like crashing. LOL

Bump your VID to around 1.28/1.3V and run Intelburn test AVX. Then make sure to read the report.

Also running a 4670@4.2 is really going to shorten it's life. Personally I'd back off to 4GHz. You have a real world boost there that is usable and wont cost you your chip/memory/Mobo or rig down the road. :)

You clearly have no idea what in the world you are talking about. You are legitimately telling someone to bump their Vcore up to 1.3. On air that is DANGEROUSLY high and I would be getting idle temps in the low 50s.

Running a cpu at a higher clock speed doesnt shorten its life. Creating more heat from poor cooling at a higher voltage does. The 4670k draws 1.18 at 3.8 already.

It would appear that you have a pretty good handle on CPU operation and are probably an experienced overclocker, which begs the question, why did you ask in the first place? I'm thinking, you got a new PC and just wanted to show off your specs. :D That's ok. It's a nice build and I hope it works well for you. ;)

Actually with that statement it is you who obviously doesn't know what they are talking about. Anyone with reading skills can see I suggested you try 1.28/1.3 at the bios VID and run Intelburn test to confirm. Intelburn test report would give Vcore numbers at load. Which wouldn't necessarily be your VID setting. Learn the difference between VID and Vcore. That is solid advice for someone jacking a 4670 to 4.2 @ 1.19. Vcore. Especially if you are running adaptive. Software Vcore readings are notoriously unreliable and can be 10-20% off on normal conditions.

Tune it back a bit. Take the over clock down a bit and test it. Intel processors are infamous for this ♥♥♥♥. They put out so much raw power they leave inbalances in other places. I had a similar issue with and older gen i5 when it was OC'd. Tune back the over clock a bit and see what happens. Might wanna look into a better cooling setup, thats how i had to solve my issue before.

you might need to upgrade your cooling system but if u cant afford it open the side panel and just place a small desk fan by the open side. It works for me
