CPU temp constantly spiking

MathisDt · April 30, 2020

so, i am running a ryzen 5 2600X on an aorus b450 elite, and while just browing chrome, and spotify running in the background my CPU is around 50C with the stock cooler. But every 5 second or so it spikes up to 65C. And the fans keeps ramping up as well, making a lot of noise. after a second or 2 is goes back down to the normal idle temps. Why is it doing this and how can i stop this?

did you apply a sufficient amount of thermal paste and did you apply is correctly

plus what software are you using to monitor the temps

I use Hardware Info, but i can hear the fans ramping up constanly so there must be something. I use the stock cooler so it came preapplied with thermal paste. My pc is now over a year old and i just started to get this problem now.

If you can, feel the cooler and see if its unbearably hot it could be wrong readings from either the software or the sensors
