CPU temps higher when denoising

Corona Corona for 3ds Max General

Hi all,

I recently built a Ryzen workstation, overclocked. So I try to be aware of the temperatures when rendering to see if there’s more room for a higher clock speed.

I noticed while rendering the temperatures are actually low. But when denoising they jump quite a lot.

Is this normal?
Does this mean that while rendering the CPU is not being used 100%? (The task manager shows 100% though)
