I think you can also catch CPU defects through a Windows Defender scan.

I am using a 5700x.
When I ran CPU tests with Prime95/Cinebench, the maximum temperature stayed around 63 degrees, but when I run a full hard drive scan with Windows Defender, the temperature consistently stays at 75 degrees. Why is this happening?

Yeah your cpu is within operating temps your completely fine. Plus it’s different variable workloads compared to a steady bench.

Temperatures have nothing to do with CPU defects.

If the temperature is high, doesn't that mean the CPU is under that much load?

It's a bit different. Windows Defender and Cinebench are different types of workloads.
On my 12900k, I've reached 100C by slamming two cores, with a power draw of like 100-120W) on an aggressive emulation setting on 86Box that not a single CPU in existence can handle at full speed. Meanwhile it requires me to draw 230W+ to reach 100C when doing a stress test in CPU-Z.

Or wouldn't even boot at all.
