Hi. So, I was looking at the system temperatures with speedfan, and I noticed this:
I thought "DAMN! That's way too hot!". Anyway today, hoping it was dust, I grabbed a minihoover and cleaned it up a little. There didn't seem to be that much dust, really, but it seems I made quite an impression. These were the temperatures I got afterwards:
The issue is that now, barely 21 minutes after booting I'm hitting the same temperatures as before.
Are these temperatures actually too high?
I think the onboard sensor may be broken because the CPU seems to be at -58C, which doesn't make a lick of sense.
But speedfan is also reporting that all of my fans are at 0 RPM, when I can clearly feel air coming out of the side and back, where the fans are.
I'm also sure that the heatsinks on the northbridge and southbridge are mounted properly. I couldn't see a way of taking them off, so I haven't checked the thermal paste.
Do you think there is any cause for concern? I was thinking of buying some compressed air.
