How quick do temps change?

I started to encode a film and then loaded up Speedfan to keep an eye on my temps, as soon as it loaded i saw that my CPU was at 58C and within seconds rose to 79C :eek:

I stopped encoding the film, turned all my antec 1200 fans on high and then opened some windows (just in case) and within about 5 seconds it was back down to 34C. Is something wrong here or is it normal because i know the antec is good at cooling but not that good!!!

if you think about it,

a really fat man going from sitting on his butt doing nothing, to suddenly pushing himself physically to the max, think about how fast he heats up :P

Not the best representation but you get the idea, and with you whacking fans up full and increasing air flow the temperature drop, when stress was relieved from the CPU, was obviously even faster than if you would have just stopped encoding alone.

Thought about getting a better cooler?

LOL, nice representation, i have been eying up the Noctua i7 cooler but the tan color puts me off, maybe a TRUE.
