Hey guys,
So I know this is a noob question but I built my first PC about 7 or 8 months ago. I put an i7 4790k into an Asus Maximus Hero VII with a Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler. When I first built my PC my CPU would sit around 35 degrees Celsius and under load would go up to 40-45 degrees but after a couple of months it started sitting around 45 degrees at idle and then recently it's started sitting around 55 degrees at idle. I haven't overclocked it at all and everything is working fine, the fan is spinning normally and I know I'm still a ways from high enough heat to hurt or thermal throttle my CPU but my question is, is this normal? Should my temps be creeping like that over time? Have any of you more experienced techies encountered this and is there some action I should take? My system is running fine now I'm just wondering if it will be a problem later. Thanks for your time!
