It doesn't look like normal temperature variance - it's far too systematic and non-random for that. It never stays at the same temperature for more than a second or so, and always changes in the same pattern, never ramping up, always jumping up by ~10 degrees instantly and cooling down again over the next 7-8 seconds.Because there's always some sort of activity. Processor is never truly idle. This is normal thermal variance. Check out core temp and look at how there's some slight load on your cpu. Any sort of load, even if it's 1-5% will cause this. Even from moving your mouse cursor.
Yeah, that's what I've noticed too. The fluctuations are too large and systematic for simple thermal variations, so I guess it must be something like that.I noticed that too, at idle. I'm also on water. Not sure what it is. Sensor anomaly? It doesn't seem to happen at nearly-full load.
Edit: another oddity I've noticed is that when I keep Ryzen Master open for temp monitoring, after a while it pegs the 12th CPU thread at ~90% usage and keeps it there seemingly indefinitely. It goes away after a restart of the app (or, rather, drops to ~20-30%). Has anyone else seen this? In general, though, RM seems a bit unstable (some times refusing to un-minimize after the computer has been sleeping, for example).
