Hey r/hackintosh/ - nice to meet 'ya !


I'm a first time builder, and to be honest, it's been (almost too)easy so far. The guides available has been soo absolutely helpful!


Now though, there seems to bee a problem with my cooling system, which is fine and stable when nothing is demanded of the cpu - a stable 31-40°. But as soon as I run a heavy job, render or do a test in either CPUTest or Geekbench, I get jagged peaks of temperature readings from the CPU that goes up and down each read(1-2 sec. intervals). Shifting rapidly from 35-40° to 70-85° and down again and repeat.


I was under the impression that a liquid CPU cooler would give a somewhat stable readout, am I wrong? I choose a liquid cooler so I would be able to overclock, but it seems it's too risky with these reads?


I've checked that it's properly mounted on the board/cpu numerous times, but still can't get the stable temps that others have posted online.. Any suggestions? - Link to temp reads
