I bought a E6400 with a Arctic Freezer 7 (or something) in January and I was very happy with it. The fan was spinning at under 1000 rpm and idle temps was down to 30C.
Cut to 6 months later and my fan is runnin 1500-1800rpm IDLE and the CPU temp is 45-50C.
The room temp has gone up about 5C, but I dont think that can cause so much problems.
Can it be bad paste? Broken Fan? Any ideas? Ive opend the case and it seems like the fan is stuck like it should be.
Maybe I should just take the entire thing off, clean it and put on new paste?
