It's been too long since I looked at energy, heat, heat conduction and
all that (more than 20 years), but the idea of a temperature spike just
doesn't sound right in the context of a PC.  
Like you say, a spike shorter than a second or two just doesn't seem
realistic.  Something to do with the amount of energy it would take to
make a 5degree increase in temperature in such a short timespam.

Not only that, once the high temperature is reached at the sensor, it would
need to be cooled again, which also "lengthens" the spike...
