Okay so Hwmonitor is saying that my e6300 is idleing at 47 celcius. Ive noticed this change since i vaccuumed my case ( i know stupid)..but then what confuses me is my gpu is 60 celcius and when i touch the heat sink it feels 60...my mobo is around 42-3 and it feels hot too..but when i touch the heat sink around the cpu it feels below blood temp. Is this normal? or is the sensor stuffed from vacuum?

nah vaccum is fine - just make sure the humidty is high and you have no static - i do it all the time

your all good - normal

yes - the air movement fools you and the heat is disapated over such a large area the actual temps are low

total diffferent comparison - plus a gpu can be 200-300w or higher and cpu 100-15-w
