CPU Temperatures rising randomly

[Bananaman4536]

Hello all!

 

Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that occasionally while gaming or even at idle, my CPU temperatures will rise from around 33° C to upwards of 55 - 70° C. The temperatures will stay there until I restart the computer, and even then sometimes on boot the temps will stay around 45°. It first happened around 6 weeks ago, and it only happened once every couple of weeks, but it's been happening more and more frequently, and now I've noticed it happening nearly daily. I can tell it isn't a misreading because I can feel the tubing on my cooler getting hot when it happens.

I know that these temps aren't dangerous and are well within the safe temperature range, but I'm still a little nervous/curious.

 

Thanks
