alright, i built this comp last week and i havent had any cooling problems up until now. up until today my temps were 37c idle and 40c loaded. but for some unknown reason they have been at 48c idle and 50c loaded. i havent changed anything in my bios or any hardware settings. i was wondering if anyone has had any problems like this before, and how to solve it. I'm using a Cooler-Master Aero 7+. btw yes this is my first comp
 
You live in virginia? Ambient temps around here hae incresed by about 15 degrees F, maybe thats what you're noticing.
 
It's most likely the sudden rise in ambient temperatures due to that lovely thing we like to call "spring" weather. The only thing to keep those temps constant is to keep it in an airconditioned room that doesnt vary in temps.
 
Happened to me too these past few days. Although my SP-94 which I installed on Sunday has helped considerably. Just need better case exhaust now.

My room has literally been 80F these past few days. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather for the rest of the week.
 
yea i was thinking the same thing but wasnt really too sure, thanx guys

Run your Air Conditioning. That's what it's for. :D
 
I'm going to try to avoid it for a little longer. Temps have gone down already anyway. Besides, it was 80 in my room and my CPU didn't break 47C so I'm ok with that.
