While the TAT results look normal, the sudden jump in the OCCT temperature measurement after 7.5 minutes and almost completely flat plateau thereafter look suspicious. Are you quite certain that the CPU wasn't reducing its duty cycle (throttling) under these conditions? The difference between the 75°C measured with OCCT and the 79.8°C peak from TAT could easily be explained by differences of calibration between the on-chip and off-chip thermal monitors. Did you check with a program capable of reading ACPI thermal zone temperatures (e.g. Speedfan, TAT etc.) what the temperature was while OCCT was reporting 75°C?
