Hey all.
Just upgraded from a i7 920 D0 to a i7 6700K. According to corsair link my CPU sits idle at around 20c. All well and good but i always have the LED inside my H80i water block set to temp based, I noticed with this new CPU the colours are jumping all all over the place(green to amber) ... i noticed as soon as i do anything on my pc the cpu load instantly spikes on one core and the temp shoots to around 50c causing the water block to flash amber then instantly back to green.
My i7 920 didn't do this and seemed more "stable" temp wise although ran hotter idle, Im just wondering if the above is normal with these newer cpus?
Nothing is overclocked and my bios is at default settings.
