RichMayo Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 My copy of SpeedFan has slowly been showing me higher and higher main CPU temps. I certainly haven't made any changes to the rig architecture and I don't think I've changed any of its environment either (it is summer though). Anyway, temps used to be in the mid 40's and now they're in the low 50's. I checked my fan controller for my case fans, but they're maxed (unchanged). I notched up my CPU cooler up a tad, but I've always kept it right on the verge of being too loud and I don't want to create a problem in my dining room. Has anybody else experienced this? Is my fix as simple as purchasing a nice can o' air from Radio Shack and blowing the you-know-what out of my computer case?? Thanks, R.

Bleeble Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Assuming your ambient temperatures haven't been causing the changes, it sounds like dust to me. Pop open the case and see if your heatsinks and fans are blocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 that sounds like it would help there may just be a little dust build up on the hsf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
