• CPU temperatures getting hotter and hotter
    6 replies, posted
Right, my CPU's an Intel Core i5 750, yes it uses the stock-cooler. I built the system around three months ago and the last time I cleaned the dust from it was three weeks ago. (Same time as I upgraded my GPU.) Anyways, a couple of days ago I noticed that my idle temps had gone up from 28 degrees Celsius, to 32 degrees Celsius. I thought nothing about it. Today, the idle temps are 35 degrees Celsius. I know the temps are far from harmful, but if it keeps on rising like this, it won't take long before they are. After 15 minutes of GTA IV, the temperatures lay at 60 degrees Celsius, but after 30 seconds or so, they're down to 40 degrees Celsius. Well, are temperature fluctuations normal, or should I be worried? [editline]05:17PM[/editline] Wait, what the fuck, they just went down to 30 degrees again. Am I just being paranoid or something?
Those temps are fine. Especially for an i7. My Q6600 idles at about 35-40 and under load it gets to about 55-60. (With the fan on a 100% duty cycle)

Temps are still fine. Don't worry about it.
Bad reading, but yeah they're fine for an i5 too.
temperatures vary a lot, e.g how hot the room is a few degrees is nothing to notice
Start to worry at 80C.
