Why did my CPU temp change all of the sudden?

[FalconFan93]

I have a FX-6300 o.c to 4.3 stable and its idle was about 39c
now its 42c and under load it goes all the way up to 65c before it throttles.
it didn't do this before (like 2 days ago) it would go up to 50c and that's about it.



Aftermarket cooler is: thermaltake nic c4
and MB is Asus M5A97 R2.0

Replace your thermal paste if possible.

But the cooler is only like a month old do i still need to replace that thermal paste?

Just sayin, Summer is startin on the northern side of the globe, if your ambient room temps are hotter, so is your PC

You could reduce your overclock to see if the problem persists(am on mobile so I couldn't reply correctly to your last response).
