O.P. Undecided  Computer Temp change....
When I first got my computer at Christmas it averaged about 30 Degrees Celceus....untill about ~2 weeks ago...Now it averages 40-45 degrees...

I'm pretty sure all my fans are running properly...:-/

Does anyone know a reason for this happening?

(heatsink?) I dunno what that is but it has to do with something...:-/

Accumulated dust on the heatsink can push temps up.  Mine drops from 45C under full load to around 38C under full load with fans at 40%.

NP mate, just offering a bit of knowledge I picked up.

TBH I would never have thought that, in my old PC it was caked in dust and made no difference, but this new one, hell the tiniest bit of dust and you could fry an egg on it LOL

If you get a lot of dust maybe consider adding another fan or 2 to sort out the airflow.

usually cleaning is improtant, but DO NOT ever use a staic duster, the best way to clean a computer is with compressed air. when i can i use my dads compressor for his nail gun and if not i keep canned air around for cleaning out pcs that i fix.

i'l post a pic of my fan grill if i get enough dust on it.
