I have a new build that has a 2600X in a ITX small form factor, so I have been monitoring the temps to make sure cooling is adequate. I haven't really paid attention to CPU temps in the past on my other computers.
The CPU temp swings all over the place very quickly, and I was just wondering if this is normal for how the newer CPU's are? Is the temp sensor in a more responsive location? At idle, it will sit at around 42*C. But as soon as you open a program or install something, it instantly jumps to like 57*C, then falls back down just as quickly to 47*C. and just goes up and down. Way faster than the heatsink could change temperature. The heatsink can't change 10*C in a second. The "motherboard" sensor reports changes much much slower. It will sit at 42*C as well and slowly raise to like 47*C under extended load.
It seems like it's not a big deal since the temps never get higher then 60*C, but it's the erratic behaviour that is new to me. Also I have the AIO fan to have it's speed based off the CPU temp so it's just constantly spinning up and down when I am actually running programs.
