Hi, my computer averages 30 degrees Celsius when just browsing the internet or doing nothing. And when playing games it averages 36-37c, or it used to. Everything was normal until today, my computer started averaging 39-40c when idle and 60-68c when in use (gaming). I've cleaned the fans, cleared the dust but nothing is working.. Could someone enlighten me on the issue?

Specs:

GPU: EVGA GTX 770 4gb

CPU: i7-4770k
 
Solution
If those are GPU temps you are still quite okay. If it is on the CPU then it is kind of hot under load.
I think it may be time to clean the dust and junk out of your system

I already cleaned most of the stuff out, But I went ahead and looked again and there the problem was, I forgot to wipe the dust off of the GPU fan blades.
