Overclock Question

Hello, I was wondering when overclocking to measure the temperature's do i use the max temps or the average real-time ones i see it run at

 

Currently my max temp's jump up to 80° but only reach that for a brief second and then returns back to 60 - 70° fluctuating

 

I couldn't find a post that explained which temps u should keep an eye on so i figured i'd ask here :)

 

My Spec: http://valid.x86.fr/udmfnp

Cooling: Corsair H100i v2

I'd recommend the average temps under load.

But temps don't jump like that.

Max temps always. You're fine up to 85°C. You won't usually reach temps you do while stress testing, but always use the max temps.

My rig:
CPU: i5 4690k 24/7 @4.4ghz (1.165v) Max 4.7ghz (1.325v) COOLER: NZXT Kraken X61 MOBO: Asus Z97-A   RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical   GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC   PSU: EVGA GS 650W   CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB + WD Black 2TB

Averages are pretty useless. Keep a look at maximums, those should be your reference.
