CPU Temperature. ?

It is d*mn Hot here in Junob just now and I guess it will get hotter later, but I want to ask, is anyone else getting a higher Temp reading because of the Ambient temp being higher. I normally Idle about 38/40 c but today, well yesterday also it idled at 45/48 c as I use the PC it goes up and down like a Yo Yo up to 65 c sometimes and then falls off back when I stop doing things, is this Normal for this time of year or am I likely, going to have a few problems, I am on my desk Top. My limit for the ASUS I have is 75 c but I don't like to have it that High.

Any Suggestions my Friends.

Basically, that was the problem and dust, one of the fans was clogged and the grease had dried up + the motherboard was dirty but all is clean now and running at normal Temps.
So I guess a monthly strip down of the tower is in order.

You can always put in another fan if its a tower. The only thing that's screwed me up is salt.

 

I have a 1 hp compressor, is this too strong? I can regulate the outlet pressure.

 

JP, it's sad to say but that's quite normal. The CPU of your desktop is actively cooled, probably using a heat sink and fan that were boxed together with the CPU. Now, the head dissipation of the sink itself decreases with higher temperatures of the environment. Naturally, besides dust and oxidation, heat is the No. 1 enemy of integrated circuits such as computer parts and communications gear. Additionally, dust can also degrade the performance of a FAN as well as create noise caused by dust abrading its inner workings.

One option to deal with a higher temperature would be to look into using a larger heat sink e.g. with heat dissipating features such as a copper based core together with replacing the fan. Also, heat dissipation can be affected by lack of thermal paste which is inserted between the CPU and heat sink. Thermal paste that doesn't contain aluminum or silver particles usually tempts to dry out fairly quickly, especially under local conditions. Another option would be looking into water cooling which, in return, also only works for your desktop. When it comes to water cooling I'd suggest a system with an external radiator. However, given the costs involved and the fact that choosing the rights parts requires some extensive knowledge on the matter this might be overkill in your case.

My two cents

Just noticed that there were other replies basically outlining what I just said, gosh

Yes, I usually clean my systems every month - it definitely helps increases the lifespan

 

Never worry about saying things twice it all helps and keeps things at the fore.
