aio cpu temp keeps spiking

Just did af MSI B450 Mortar Max build with Artic Liquid Freezer II 360 build in the Lian Li Lancool - with an 3600x and a Gigabyte Gaming OC 2070 super. it never went above 65 c - did a 8 ours burn in with the CPU-z stress test and the cores never came belove 4225MHz. During gaming and test it was impressive silent. It was set to 1900MHz Infinity fabric and 3800MHz memory, CL 14 timings, with PBO enabled.
Apples to apples.
 
I just think OP is confusing everyone. I know it will show CPU, but you also assume he knows how to work that but not HWINFO? These apps are not rocket science.
Well I'm not confused. OP worried about spiking behaviour of CPU temp, and asked also about the max temps he sees, if its ok (65~70C). ZEN2 is very easy to spike to 60s and 70s.
And what I got is that he use afterburner to monitor his CPU temp.


@PandaH05 this is what mine looks like on normal usage:

So the spiking thing is normal. If you CPU is staying below 80C its probably fine.
These CPUs have max operating temp at 95C but thats not the spot to work on.

Im not sure tho that 4.2GHz with constant 1.35V is ok.
You must consider that temp is not the only factor to take into account for longevity of a CPU. These chips are not ment to work with constant voltage.
I'm not saying that the CPU will definately be worn, but its a possibility.
 
I just recently put a 3600 into a machine and with the stock cooler the spikes seemed crazy and ridiculous, not to mention the insane idle temps at 60 degrees celsius, I thought the paste was the problem but when I took it off I could see that wasn't the issue. So I installed an Arctic 280mm AIO today and temps are almost halved and spiking seems nowhere near as bad BUT my temps still spike and that's my TL;DR. Lastly, Asrock A-Tuning is really bad lol...
