My CPU temp at idle has jumped suddenly from 43C to 50C. I don't see any
significant dust accumulation on my HSF. I've not disturbed anything on my
MB or added any new hardware/software.
1) Is it possible the CPU temp probe has become defective?
2) I'm using stock intel HSF with the black coloured heat transfer pad. If I
pull off the HSF can I just stick it back on again or do I have to clean it
off & use thermal grease? TIA
