Just recently I have noticed my CPU has been overheating. Originally I thought it was because of bad airflow in my new-ish case. But now i think it's something else.
Using CPUID to monitor hardware temps, I can see that my CPU temp shoots straight up to 70c from cold boot and idles at that temp whilst i noob on the internet. My GFX remains steady at 50c and my hardrives around 25 - 30c.
If i am to game now my CPU will increase to 99c quite quickly
My GFX obviously increases in temp as well but well within what you would expect from a system running normally.
My CPU fan (Cooler Master Hyper 212+ heatsink) looks like its running fine spinning at 2k rpm. Although it looks stable, i'm wondering if the CPU heatsink has come away from the CPU slightly or the thermal paste needs re aplying. I hope its nothing too serious like my CPU dying or something! What do you guys think?
Note, I have had this system (sig) for 18 months and it has been very stable, and has given me great performance.
cheers.
