Eratic Temperature displays

I just ran prime 95 on my i7 4790k rig that has a noctua nh u14s and MSI afterburner read the temperature from the idle of like 35 to like 87 degrees under 100% load which is weird because i didnt go over 1.3 volts in cpu z and i was wondering if anyone noticed anything similar

Don't use Prime95 for Intel chips. Use AIDA64.

And this is why you DO NOT USE PRIME95!

Use real bench, IETU, aida64, etc. Prime 95 destroys intel chips and it isn't a proper way to determine if your OC is stable.

Ok so i re did the test and it was putting me at 1.35v for my cpu so i immediatly stopped it, but during the test cpu remained under 70 degrees celcius, i almost never run at that voltage and i have a MSI OC series MOBO so i am sure it will be fine. But thanks i will use AIDa 64 from now on

Better than a synthetic stress test like Aida would be real bench.

I've had seemingly stable overclocks on Aida64/IETU fail in real bench, so yeah.
