A7V333 temperature

[Chuck]

My A7V333 has been very stable running normal temps of 112F to 114F
according to MBoard Moniter ver 5.2.1.0 but for the last couple of months
the temps have been creeping up to as high as 125F with just normal surfing.
I have Bios 1011. Any suggestions of why the temps are going up would be
appreciated

It is time for an oil change

Mine does this too - if you are using a thermal paste, it may
have dried out and is presenting more thermal resistance than
it used to. Disassemble the HSF carefully, clean off the old product,
and apply a thin layer of fresh thermal paste. The paste is there
only to fill in the gaps, not make the gap bigger.

Obviously, if you've increased the FSB lately or bumped up the
Vcore, this would make it warmer too.

If you happen to be using an OEM cpu cooler I'd check for dust blocking
the fins. The fins are very fine and act almost as a filter, mine was
completely blocked in less than seven months.

Also, if your computer is located north of the equator, higher ambient
room temperature while going from winter->spring->summer will result in
a higher case temperature which in turn will result in a higher CPU
temp.
