Stopping instantaneous sensor spikes in motherboard readings?
This is a classic case of sensor over-sampling. I thought my cooler had failed, but it was actually AIDA64 polling too fast and catching voltage transients. I navigated to AIDA64 Sensor Options and bumped the update interval from 1s to 5s, then enabled the Average Smoothing filter. The readings shifted from erratic spikes to a gentle wave, stabilizing between 70℃ - 78℃. While this makes the response slower, it removes the false alarms. Just a warning: if you are push-testing an OC, turn this off, or you'll miss real momentary thermal peaks that cause crashes.
