Why has my idle temp jumped 10 degrees in a week
hi,
One week ago my cpu idle temp was around 42 degrees C. This week it has jumped to 52 degrees, while the case temp has remained at a constant 35 degrees. A week ago it only got to 52 dC under heavy load! Why would this happen? The HSF is still on solidly & is running at the same fan speed as when i bought it 18 months ago. Is it possible the CPU is defective |

Did you remove the heat-sink and re-seat it?
Perhaps the ceramic compound that came with the heat-sink, has decided to flake away?. i just recently bought a new case with more fans & removed the HSF, cleaned it & reapplied artic silver... since it has run around 42 dC but all of a sudden has jumped 10 degrees |

after cleaning fan a drop of 3 and1 machine oil would be good.

maybe CPU core voltage is not correct and is variable?
