So about a week or so ago I started noticing my idle temps had gone up to about 20c. From 32c idle to now being at 60c. I don't have any liquid cooling on the GPU and have used a compressed air to get the dust off. This GPU has two fans and I've opened the case and turned the fans on at 100% and so far my temps only dropped to 38c. Not sure if I should reapply thermal paste or if that is possible with this unit. I've never reapplied thermal paste on a GPU and I've had this GPU since January of 2016. Any suggestions on what I should do? Here are helpful images.
Update: I've cleaned out of GPU thoroughly with the air compression can. Nothing has improved. I also downloaded GPU-Z to see if CAM is mistaking the temps. Its not. still reaching about 63 degrees without any load.
