Decaying?

A few months ago, I built my first Gaming PC and when I saw the CPU temps, they were reading at 28-32 Celcius. Now the CPU reads around 32-44 Celcius. I'm not sure whats going on, but if you have any ideas please reply and let me know.

Weather? 32-44 is still very low in terms of operating temperature.

Mid to high 30°C is a pretty good idle temperature. Depending on where you live winter only ended about 2~3 months ago which may explain the increase.

 

Now if you start seeing it idling in the 50°C range then somethings probably wrong.

Is this idle, or just whenever you felt like testing it?

Not what I meant...

 

Liquid in a loop tends to equalize after a while at a stable temperature. I'm asking if you    A. Did the test after having it be shutdown for awhile   or     B. Did the test after some gaming or after leaving it on for awhile

 

Both of those change the temperature drastically. It takes time for water to heat up.

I mean the more you use it the more likely dust is getting accumulated on the heatsink if you don't clean it, it gets to the point it'll start to decrease your temperature performance.

Try replacing the thermal paste, and make sure you have good air flowing through. Also if you have dust filters on your case, make sure you clean those, cause I have carpets and dust just accumulates like layers.
