I just noticed my idle temp shot up to around 47C. What gives? Is there something I should check for before I resort to cleaning my heat sink?
only load temps matter
no
when you see your temperatures increase promptly shut down the computer and reseat and clean the heatsink
Mine are at 55-58C idle at 29C ambient temperature. Don't sweat it
idle temp should be around room temperature give or take a few degrees.
unless you are AMD then they are magically 10 degrees cooler than ambient

That's probably the first thing you should do if your temps are going up at idle.

Ambient temperature.
Nigga I idle at 80 degrees and my load is 94. No fucks given.
