Sorry, 70-80 at full load

Sorry, 40-45 ish at idle, a spike up to the high 60's and then slowly climbing to the 75-80c if memory serves.

So I jumped back into overclocking and the bios. The default acted basically as expected, but I also found a noob friendly setting to cap the CPU temp at lower than the max safety limit. So now I'm busy trying to see how low I can push the volts before the system complains.

I haven't had it down to it's base 4.7 ghz since a few days after I bought it back in late 2018, and back then I just followed OC guides till I got a stable OC that could handle a 100% load and then I turned it down a nudge more.

If you click it a few times, you'll get the full resolution image. Even if I reduce the mhz by 200 in AVX calculation tasks, it shouldn't be able to explain the extremely fast and almost instantiations heat increase and decrease of about 50c, it is after all implying that 300-400 joules of extra heat energy is capable is capable of heating the chip up by 50 degrees which would give the chip a heat capacity of roughly 8 J/K.

This is the result of my cinebench run. I don't recall fiddling with AVX offsets

CPU-Z reports 1.472 at idle/low load and 1.344 at high load. The watt is about 50-60 at low and about 185 at 100%

In the last month or so, I've bluescreened more often than I'd expect, and I've been unable to narrow down the reason. So yesterday I checked my CPU temps under load and saw something really strange. (It's a 9700k running an easy 5.1 Ghz overclock with a Thermalright Macho Rev.B tower and some silver based thermal paste) In short, the temp would chill at the 45-55c area while idling or at low load, but when I run kombustors cpu burner software, the temps would spike from that area to 100c within 1-2 seconds, maintain that temp for the duration of the burn and then go back down to the regular temps after 3-4 seconds. The image below shows the usage and temp spikes. From what I understand about heat generation and heat dissipation, the heat curves should be a lot more gradual than shown in the picture. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong? ps. I took the tower off and reapplied an appropriate amount of paste, and I'm getting the same results. pps. I know the idle/low load temps aren't good either.
