    Is there anything I can do to stop my TSZ0 from spiking to 98 from 50 or so while gaming? I don't block vents or anything, and it seems kind of random. All my other temps are fine. It spikes up over 40c in a second, and then it goes back down when I alt tab.

    I was doing som OC'ing the other day, seeing how far I could push it. I put Furmark up in a 640x480 window and HWMonitor in a window beneath it. I was getting FPS up above 120 in Furmark for a while and I noticed TZS0 hit 98C, but no degradation. CPUs were in the 50s, GPU in the 70s. Ran for a couple of minutes that way and then bwap! Furmark dropped into the teens for a couple seconds then the screen went dark, got a beep, the screen came back, but the furmark window was black. GPU dropped back into 100/133/300 speeds and every animation, or movement on the desktop stuttered. I couldn't bump the cpu anymore. I rebooted and everything went back to normal.

    But to answer your question, no, there is nothing you can do, save don't OC.
