This has been happening since I got the CPU a few weeks ago, but since I'm just OCing it now I thought I'd ask just in case.
When I have cortemp running, I get mid 30s idle, low to mid 50s load. But occasionally under load, cores would jump to 98C(?) and instantly drop back to the normal load temp. After half an hour or so, they'd all seem to get stuck there. I'm not too worried because simply restarting coretemp while still under load shows that they are actually where they are supposed to be.
Coretemp documentation says if it's showing the TJmax followed by a question mark, like it is for me, the sensors may not be working right. What I think is strange is what are the chances of having all 4 temp sensors be defective?
