CPU is Hotter Than Before

[_Hustler_One_]

Guys, I have a problem on my CPU temps.

 

I use i7 8700K with NH-U12S paired with NF-F12 iPPC 3000 fan and bound them with TG Kryonaut.

 

Long before it was a great performer of air cooling setup. It was 36^oC idle and 54^oC gaming. The CPU usage is only 20%.

 

In the last 2 days my temps is raising to 39^oC idle and 63^oC gaming, same game I play with same setting. I tried to reapply the thermal paste, clean all the cooling properties inside my PC all the vents, the fans, heatsink, pretty much clean the whole PC, but no improvement or at least back to previous temps range..

 

I think it's not a temperature sensor failure, because the exhaust blows hotter air than before.

 

What could be possibly wrong???

What if it's just ambient room temperature that's causing this temperature rise? Was it any hotter/colder in the past two days?

Confirmed not because of the ambient temps. Sorry not to mention that this hotter temps I get is while I'm playing at night, and the previous temps were either day or night only 1-2C difference, but this gives me 9C difference under load. But when I stress tested it with Realbench for 30 mins, compare to the previous test, the max temp (76C) and avg temp (72C) are still same.

Your motherboard onboard VGA Intel graphics just had a driver update on the 13th.

 

Delete it if it was installed. Make sure it is disabled under bios/windows

Wow, how do you know that? Even I didn't have the clue about this.. How to check it? Does it really be the reason behind this?

Remove MSI LiveUpdate 6. 

 

You do not want MSI pushing drivers automatically to your PC.

 

Watch for new drivers on their website yourself...avoid the Intel VGA driver since you do not use it.

 

If this fixes the problem, send MSI an email notifying them of a fault with their Live Update causing your overheating problem.

Will try to do it latter because I'm traveling atm.

 

I know 63C is still far to worry about, it is still good temps, but it's bothering me while I'm getting used to run it at far less than 60C since I use this Noctua cooler setup combo, but now it's over 60C.. It feels like the cooler starts fail me, it's not a good feeling..
