After realising that my computers poor performance was due to the CPU overheating, i decidied to clean the heatsink/fan. I did this yesterday and the idle temp dropped to around 50 degrees. However, today it is back at around 70 degrees while i'm just looking at the desktop. I don't even know how this is possible.
This is even worse than normal, I cant imagine what will happen if I try and play a game.
I have ordered some thermal paste and updated the bios, but this problems seems possibly hardware/software related. Any suggestions?
My CPU is:
AMD FX-8150 EightCore 3.60 ghz
I am using: SpeedFan to monitor the temps.
Thanks in advance!
