My idle temperatures were getting quite high (60 celsius), and I hadn't cleaned out my PC for a while, so I got rid of all of the dust, re-routed cables, took the cpu fan (stock) off and cleaned the dust off of it, then installing it again with new thermal compound.
My idle temperatures seem to be even higher...going up from 60 degrees to 65 degrees while idling.
I then went into the bios to try to increase the fan speed, and after I did that, the temperatures went up even more and are now 72-75 celsius!
CPU:
i5-4690k @ 3.7GHz
Stock fan running at 2922 RPM ('Turbo' in ASUS EZ Mode BIOS)
I checked the thermal compound to check that I hadn't put too little or too much and it seemed fine so I wiped it off with Isopropyl Alcohol 70% and re-applied it.
I understand that there are many threads relating to this kind of stuff but I seemed to have done everything that has already been said (reapplying thermal paste etc.). Thank you in advance.

I'm guessing that it is important too that the current ambient temperature is 27.5 celsius.
