Hey.

 

I finally got around to cleaning my dust filters today. I was scared when I booted into Windows and saw the temps were at 38c, where they usually idle at 30c. I began monitoring the CPU usage monitor and watching Youtube videos. When I closed it down, I noticed at desktop I was idling at 27c (cleaning your dust filters really is an improvement). However, I noticed whenever I enter fullscreen on Youtube it will go from 27c-33c for just a little bit, and the CPU usage monitor goes from 1% to 17% and back really quickly. Then it stays at idle. Every few minutes, if I just stay in fullscreen without doing anything, the temperature will quickly raise to 32+ and the CPU usage will go up a bit again, and then back to norma.. I browsed a few websites and found some left my CPU remaining at it's idle temperature, some made it raise a little bit (28, 29c), and some made the temperature jump to 32c+. For example if I look at my LTT profile page my CPU's temperature jumps to 33c and stays there. I can't really figure out why, as I hadn't really done small checks like this when I first built my PC. I just noted temperatures while gaming, mining, and under during a stress test. My original thought is I screwed something up when I was removing and re-applying the front panel, as the whole placing 6 tabs inside thing made it difficult to get off (took me a few minutes actually). However I quickly double-checked temperatures while mining and under load (Prime95... to lazy to download AIDA) and they showed up at their normal temperatures, 41c and 50-52c respectively.

 

Just wondering if this happens to anyone else. Like how does going to fullscreen make my temperature raise by 6 degrees?

 

Background apps are just Skype, Killer Network Manager (for my LAN), and Geforce Experience.

 

I presume some of them are just doing a few things in the background now and then but I'd like to know the answer for some reassurance...

 

Thanks in advance.
