So my CPU fan had a lot of dust on it, SpeedFan displayed 65c steady while running things like Tera Online for core0/1 (I have a duo), now after cleaning all the dust out today it's showing temperatures of 70-80c with nothing running, this is worrying me...
What could have gone wrong and what to do? Didn't touch the paste or anything so that should be fine, didn't even detach anything just used cotton swabs to pick up dust, if anything it's a little looser than before but that wouldn't make the difference or would it? The fan it's self seems to be running just fine...
It's an Intel i3 @ 2.93GHz, NOT overclocked at all
cooler is artic arctic freezer 7 pro
CPU is the only temp that is alarming, everything else is fine
Would appreciate help asap
