G1 Sniper 3 z77 mobo
i5 3570k @ stock (turbo boost on)
Noctua NH-14D - (socket 2011 version with PWM fans, mounted using the official Noctua 1155 socket kit) + the paste that came with it.
Using Real temps and HW monitor (not at same time) Idle temps are shown as wildy fluctuating between a min' sub-ambient (17) on core 2 and spiking at 41-48 degrees. All cores are fluctuating erratically.
Average seems to be "normal" 22-35 but is jumping up and down rapidly, every second, never stays still for more than 2-3 secs. common spike is from 22/23 to 33/34 and back, with occaisional spikes to 40+ on ll cores
In the f5 bios the pc health status shows the temp as 26 dgrees, but in the MIB intelligent tweeker over view it shows cores 1-4 as 40-42, 30-32, 41-43, 42-44 - TEMPS ARE NOT SPIKING IN BIOS
In the latest f7 bios temps are shown as 35 in the pc health status... 10 degree difference than f5 with no other changes. Temps in MIT remain the same.
It is worth mentioning that the PWM sets the fans to sub 400 rpm at idle, so +40 would not be abnormal spike at that speed?
I have been told by some that changing temps is normal, and i5 ivy is known to be erractic. But is a spike of 20+ degrees in 1-2 sec i.e. 23-43-22 considered normal?
OCUK staff told me that it should not do this and temps should not change by more than 1-3 degrees.
Please adivde if you can!
Edit** forgot to mention that under prime95 blend test 15 mins temps never exceed 55, and remain prety stable, no erratic jumping.

- I have tried re-seating the cooler, and it did not help.
