Have I cleaned my GPU wrongly?

[IAmAkiro]

I know we are going into hotter weather, but i still wonder, i for around 1 month ago cleaned my PC quickly, i borrowed an aircompressor and got going, i didn't go at it wtill full blast, nono i used a cuttonbud to hold the fans while cleaning it, i live in a 25 squaremeter apartment, but I have started to notice just from today and last night my Dota 2, usally never hopped over 56 degress and are now hitting about 59 when I am playing, which i find odd over a day, i know my PC gets dusty quickly during to what I think is bad airflow, but I don't know if it's the hotter weather that's changing alot or me that maybe have screwed my PC when I cleaned it. 

I cleaned it from the top first, then slowly on the side when I used the bud, and then from the fans and like i held the head of the compressor to the fans and kinda blew it up to the "card" if anyone knows what i mean.

Does anyone know if i might be screwing my 1070 ROG STRIX or is it just that normal it jumps that higher, even idle usally stays at 28-29 and are now at 33-34

I've taken my PC into work and used the building wide compressed air system to clean my PC with no problems.

Well I'm just afraid I might have done something wrong, I'm too afraid to remove the card from the motherboard, because I'm afraid I'll break it

dude the weather is getting hotter these things happen, stop worrying, its not like the temps are 20c hotter.

[manikyath]

did temps in your appartment get 3-5°c hotter? because there is your problem

also, i datavac'ed about 20-30 systems over the past week with very little care, and none of them has come up dead yet

Reason I think about it is because i have so much school work I can't have a part time job, and it's the first time I bought a really good card

You did everything right, there's nothing to worry about! 59C is well within normal temps

Okay. I took 13 minutes of testing with Heavens Benchmark.

Nothing wrong there, your GPU is working fine.

It'd only be a problem if you were getting 90+ degrees or no signal or something like that, but your 1070 is fine!

Thanks, can you tell me maybe what's that Ambient temp is?

Ambient temperature is just the temperature of the room that your PC is in. If the ambient temperature goes up, the GPU temperature will too.

So if the ambient temperature is 20 degrees, your GPU might run at 60 degrees. If the ambient temperature goes up to 25 degrees, then the GPU will go up to 65 degrees.

@OfficialSiRiS Oh, I meant on HWiNFO my gpu temp is 67 degress

Ah sorry, that is just a different temperature sensor on your graphics card. The name is a bit misleading but it is probably the temperature of the memory on the card, or just a temperature sensor near the GPU core. Either way 67 degrees is still a good temperature.

(GPU core temperature is measured with the [GPU Temperature] in HWiNFO)
