So for seemingly no reason my temps are higher than normal at idle, almost double on the CPU. It reaches around 40, sometimes a couple higher, and normally before at idle it was mid 20's. HUGE difference. My GPU isn't suffering as much, it stayed at around 31 before, but now it's averaging around 40. I don't think it's a matter of dust, the computer is fairly new. I was told before that it may have been a problem with drivers which was a previous problem I had and that DID fix it, though that wasn't long ago and I haven't installed any since so that couldn't be the problem. Airflow is about the same as before, though the side fan is sitting up against a wall though (but still with 1-2 inches of space, plenty of room for breathing so that also shouldn't be the problem.), so does anyone have any idea what else the problem could be? I'm sure it isn't the way I put on the thermal paste or anything, as the computer isn't BRAND new (a few months old) but it's still not time to replace anything like that, and it wasn't seated wrong. I'm also not overclocking though when I do, my temps still actually seem lower except when I'm playing. Any help would be appreciated.
On average under full load my GPU stayed normally at around 55-58, which it still does actually, so it's only the idles that are a problem. Only thing I can think of that has changed is I actually just installed Windows 10, maybe that messed something up somehow?
