I've had my computer for about 6 months. It typically ran at about 80 Fahrenheit, but recently, it's been running at about 90. This is a really odd jump, because up until about a week ago it had been running at a consistent 80 Fahrenheit. Now it's just jumped up.

Using Riva Tuner, I set the fan speed to 100%, that brought it down to about 88. Tomorrow I'm going to grab some canned air and get the dust out of the case, but I don't think that's it. What do you think?

Which temp probe are you monitoring? Those sound like case temps from a mobo sensor.

Also, change your temps over to Celsius or Kelvin, please.

90F it isn't at all out of the ordinary. My CPU is running 34C (93F) right now. No matter which probe that temp is for it is nothing to be concerned about unless it continues to increase.

Ambient room temp is about 70, sometimes a bit above.

Sorry about the Farenheit, so it would be about the temp jlreich is running.

If it's not out of the ordinary, then I'll be fine, so I was just overreacting, but if it keeps rising, I'll be sure to let you know.
