Introduction:
About a week ago now, my CPU started idling around 60-70C with nothing open. It used to be around 50C - I have sufficient airflow in my case (Meshify C). I don’t remember installing any programs or updates around this time - in fact I think it started while I was in the middle of using the computer. It had been running fine for around a year.
Problem:
So far, I have:

About a week ago now, my CPU started idling around 60-70C with nothing open. It used to be around 50C - I have sufficient airflow in my case (Meshify C). I don’t remember installing any programs or updates around this time - in fact I think it started while I was in the middle of using the computer. It had been running fine for around a year.
Problem:
- When I boot into Windows, all fans ramp up to full for a bit, then calm down.
- My idle temperature with nothing open is 60-70C, and maxes out at 80C if I put it under load.
- When I open some applications, the fans ramp up to full for a bit
So far, I have:
- Reseated CPU/AIO
- Dusted my computer
- Replaced thermal paste (MX-4)
- Reset BIOS
- Cleared CMOS
- Done a fresh install (where it was still overheating before installing anything)
- Run Windows Memory Diagnostics (no problems)
- Changed power plan to balanced
- Run chkdsk (no problems)
Other Information
- When in Safe Mode, the fans don’t run as high (so I assume that the temperature is fine, but I can’t tell because monitors don’t work)
- I didn’t have temperature problems in Ubuntu MATE when I checked with lm-sensors
- I have no overclocks except for XMP on the RAM
