Temps raising?

[Crax]

Ok... a couple days ago I was seeing temps down around 38C while idle... Today Im anywhere from 43 to 44... I havnt changed anything, I have no extra processes running. The temp in my room is the same/ even cooler maybe. What do you all think? I havnt even opened up my case since then.

happened to me b4.. i tried a lot of things, nothing helped, until u completly redo the hsf. u have to take it off, blow out the dust, get rid of the old thermal paste, put a new layer on, and put the heatsink on. that fixed my problem

yea dust build up does that, but it takes mine more than 5 days to notice anything
