cpu starting warmer than usual...

[nelly999]

hi my cpu has within a few days suddenly gone from 20-24 deg on start to 29-30 deg, I know its still rather low, but it is the the almost 10 deg jump that bothers me, I have ordered some new thermal paste just incase and I am gonna clean my pc which is dusty, I just thought if anyone new if there was a specific reason, maybe cpu on its way out or my antech kuhler 920 ect, my cpu is an i7 3770k.....

It could also be weather related. I know mine has been running warm for the last couple of days because the weather has been warm. It's worth checking the cooler and also cleaning out any dust/blocked vents.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I imagine the ambient temperature of the room will affect hardware temps. It's been super warm where I live the past few days.
