Are there any unusual reasons for a rise in CPU temperature?
My system temperature is only about 25°C. CPU temperature is at or
above 50°C. As I recall two months ago, the CPU temp was 44°C or less
and case temperature is cooler now. Maybe the CPU fan is slowing down,
but it reads OK.
Here are the easy to guess reasons.
.... CPU fan malfunction
.... clogged CPU heatsink
.... improper heatsink installation or no heatsink grease
.... temperature sensor circuit malfunctioning or temperature sensor
moved closer to CPU
Are there any unusual possibilities? Bus speed or something?
Malfunctioning CPU? Thanks.
