[SOLVED] GPU Tempereture Rises on Idle

[yehya.hamzawy]

Currently i have noticed that my GPU fans started to spin when the PC is idle, that have never happened before. I launched Zotac FireStorm to monitor the temp and usage, memory utilization stayed around 1% while GPU utilization 4%.
the temperature however used to be around 40-47 on idle when i first got my PC. now it sits around 50-58 (on idle) and that's when the fans start spinning.

i have 1 exhaust fan in the back, and 1 intake fan in the front. my GPU is: Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! Edition.
my PC is silent most of the time, and this case where the fans start spinning is worrying me. i had the thought that it could be the dust that built up for a year now and i went to clean to clean it with a blower right away. but i noticed 0 difference, the temps stayed the same.
what should i do or look for to figure out the issue?

It's not that the ambient temperature is up because it's summer is it?
If not....
I would run with the case open and see what happens.
If the temps drop I would look at....maybe one or both of your case fans aren't spinning as fast as they used to.
