I have just rewired my PC, updated the BIOS and put an extra fan in (80mm) but then removed it as it was vibrating the whole case) - since then, after the fan removal my temps have gone up and now it's about 41C-45C idle and about 51C under load. Before the fan my idle temps were about 40C and load was about 46C ish.

One more thing to note - when I booted my PC after the extra fan addition its wires got cought in the CPU fan and it worked for about 5 - 8 seconds without the CPU fan working, so maybe that somehow might've caused my temp rise?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Well, I don't know.

After I've rewire my PC the temps were normal and with the fan they went down, then I removed the fan and updated the BIOS - after that the temps rose by about 7C :(

So I don't think that it's wrong airflow that's doing it.
 
It's possible the BIOS was doing a better job of reporting temps with the revision.

What are you using to measure your temperatures?
 
ASUS AI suite - it seems to be the most accurate, as it's only about 2C lower than what I saw in BIOS.

Also I wanna make sure - if the fan was off for a MAX of about 10 seconds, is it possible to do any damage to the CPU. (don't think that the answer is going go my way :( )

P.S. - is it normal for an old old case fan to vibrate?
 
sometimes BIOS updates also does that. i remember awhile back on an A8n32SLI Deluxe board after dling the new BIOS the temperature went down. Maybe in ur case it went up. to make sure also it's the bios thats causing it, go to asus.com they ahve a forum their for ur specific board, and see.
