My cpu temperatures literally changed overnight. 2 days ago i would get 18-21 degrees idle and 49-53 when playing games such as TF2. For the past 2 days i've been getting low temps on startup but as soon as i did something my cpu wouldn't cool back, leaving me with idle temps of 25-26 degrees. When playing games I now get 54-60 degrees. I literally did nothing to make my cpu temps increase, the only thing that I can think of is that our weather has been extremely hot on the day my temps increased (32-33 degrees celcius). Why did my temperatures suddenly go up?
CPU: fx 6300 @3.5 ghz
