Is my i9-14900K sensor broken or is Avowed causing glitches?
Checked via record 2025-INT-SENS on Win11 24H2. I observed core temps flipping between 75℃ and 85℃ instantly—a physical impossibility that ruined my overclocking benchmarks. I first panicked about the cooler mount and repasted the CPU, but the jumps persisted. I then navigated to AIDA64 Sensor Settings, increased the polling cycle from 1ms to 500ms, and enabled 'Data Smoothing'. The resulting curve became natural, with fluctuations capped at 3℃. After 5 stress cycles, it stayed rock steady. Note that smoothing introduces a slight perception lag, meaning you won't catch absolute instantaneous micro-peaks of temperature.
