Hey, before i cleaned out my computer, my tempurtures where ranging from 50 to 60 degrees celcious during games like shogun 2 but since i cleaned my computer and took of the standard heatsink to clean around it, tempurtures have gone up to 100 degress celcious during games and i was wondering why?
Is it because the thermal paste is no longer effective after unsticking the cpu fan from it?
Should i get a new CPU heatsink?
And does having a full harddrive cause you to have a higher average tempurture?
Thanks for the help.
