Temperature reading glitch?

I have an I7-6700K overclocked to 4.7Ghz with a Corsair AIO. I am getting strange temp readouts and it's making my fans go crazy. The CPU is stuck at 33C at idle, but for no reason sometimes the temp jumps to 60C then back to 33C within 2 seconds. Obviously, it's not getting that hot and getting cooler that quickly. So, is this an issue with the temp sensor on the mobo? Also, Corsair Link 4 shows one of my fans running at 27,000RPM. I think that may be a tad too fast, or its incorrect. I don't hear any fan spinning that hard, so what is going on? The rest of the fans are between 970rpm and 1329rpm. More bad sensors?

 

What do you guys think?

if the fans were at 27,000rpm the machine would lift off lol.

are you using any splitters for the fans or even a hub or are each fan plugged directly into a header on the mobo? sometimes when using a splitter it can screw with the rpm readings. as for the temp spike, if this is the same reading in different softwares it may be very well the cpu is spiking due to a background program running. for example, with my Ryzen system and with Ryzen master open, it utilizes the cpu quit a bit and will make temp spike up to 50c then immediately drop back to the 30c idle temp I normally have. 

if you want to change the fan curve so it doesn't make the fans ramp up like that you can look in the bios and you should be able to adjust the curve in there.

Since I own the same CPU and a Corsair AIO my temperature readings are also unstable especially in idle.It doesn't matter what monitoring software I use Corsair link,AIDA64,Coretemp the temperatures are ''dancing'' like yours do.I get 29-32-41-45-33 in a seconds.I guess that's normal cuz its not only you and me.But can you share your voltage and core speeds and also the exact Corsair AIO cooler?
