Hey guys, I've recently just put my new pc together and I checked my temps on a program called Speccy and it's telling me my temperatures are going skyhigh (~60C) and back down to ~40C in a matter of seconds. This is what it's showing me in the program I did apply enough thermal paste to the CPU, would you guys know why this is happening? Also, this happens while browsing internet.

Not seen that one. I've got CoreTemp on my PC. Link
I've got a stock HS+F cooling it and it's running at 40c at the moment, I've got Firefox, Steam and Origin running.
I played through some of an Arma 3 mission and it got up to 60c.
Temps seem ok but do you have anything running in the background?

What cooler and paste are you using and have you overclocked it?
Also thermal paste takes a while to "cure" so temps should go down after a week or two.

Downloaded CoreTemp and it shows temps from 0C to 30 max when gaming arma 3 so I guess that's okay, must've been the program going apeshit or something. Haven't overclocked the CPU and using the stock cooler. used arctiv silver 5 paste. I guess problem is solved because seems like Speccy was bugging out.

Coretemp is very unreliable when dealing with AMD CPU's, get CPUID and post the results after 30mins of running Prime95 on max heat load settings.

done the test and cpu reached well over 70C, it reached 80C and then i decided to stop it, it ran for 20 mins, i've been watching the temps after i turned prime95 off and it shows the same as speccy... so my problem is not solved..

Like I said it can take a week or two for the CPU paste to cure.

Going to get 2-3c lower in those situations, which if correct means he'll only be maxing out around 80c...still something distinctly wrong.
The max safe operating temp for his model is 74c.
One this I would say is that if you're using a discrete graphics card rather than the built in, the CPU could be getting overvolted (from the extra the GPU side would be using). So you can try dropping it down to reduce temps as a stopgap with potentially no negatives.
Probably may want to re-gunk/seat your cooler too (with paste, less is more, you want as much direct contact as possible with the paste just filling in the gaps), and check your case airflow...got to shift the heat out of the case, or it builds up quickly.

On what did you mean to reduce the voltage, on the CPU?
EDIT: lowered the power on CPU and it works on 50C while gaming

You are using an APU (basically a CPU/GPU combined).
If you are using a separate discreet GPU, the APU may still be drawing power to support both the CPU and GPU portions. As you are not using the onboard GPU side of things, the APU can get by with drawing less power than usual (might be a little vague, but I think stock it runs around 1.45v, a standard AMD CPU usually uses 1.275v).
You can set these things in the BIOS, just drop your Voltage down one segment at a time, run some stability tests, then repeat until you fail. Then notch it back up one.
Of course, all this is pointless if you're not using a discreet GPU. :)
Not being an APU user myself, so bit lacking in the info and just pulling stuff I find off Google.
