CPU went up 2C-- is that a problem?

I booted my computer up to see if everything was running fine, and the CPU was really low, at 22C. Today I started it up and it showed 24C. These are really low temps compared to what I've read on here, but I was wondering if I might have to watch out for something, or if maybe somethings wrong? What are the factors that contribute to CPU heat? Like wattage, lack of fans, and outside temperature...? Thanks
 
That's nothing to worry about. 2ºC can be caused by many things, including ambient temperature, startup programs loading etc.
 
Yep my Q6600 can go as low as 20c when my room freezing but normal temps are 33c @ 3.2ghz.

So its normal.
 
Overclocking leads to heat, and stress testing. You should watch out for things like this...

I've been a little worried about my CPU the past few days. I saw the CPU heat litteraly jump 10C, but it's still around the 20-31C area. The hardware monitor utility (came with mobo) and Vista are reading two different temperatures for the CPU, the hardware monitor reading 19-25C and Vista reading 25-31C. When the computer boots it usually reads what Vista reads.
 
Download coretemp and see what it says. I wouldn't really worry about the temperature until it goes into the 50s.
 
those temps are fine. Dust everything off and don't worry about it until temps are in 50c+ range like diduknowthat said. Temps can jump all over the place depending on load. You are not close to dangerous temps for any CPU.
 
Think of it this way, a change of 2 deg C is only slightly noticeable to humans. Do you think metal is gonna even bat an eye at that amount of change? Processors can handle up to about 80 deg C so do you think your processor cares about going from 22 to 24?
 
Thanks konsole, that makes a lot of sense. I'll watch out for 50C

uhm look at your fans make sure that they work good because if you have good cooling then your temp will drop

My case has like 5 fans, lol, but 4 are daisy chained, so I think it might reduce power. The fans actually look a *little* slow to me.
 
I rewired the fans so the top two fans have their own connection and only the side fan and exhaust fan share a connection (Power LED and frong fan are occupying two molex's). The fans do seem a little quicker. I also removed some I/O slots for ventalation.

Now the CPU isn't at 30C when I'm on Internet Explorer (27-30C so far), but it did jump to 32C when the computer booted. Well, I guess these are temperatures I'll have to live with if I'm using fans.

What are really good 120mm fans that I can replace the case with though? Ones that connect to the motherboard and others that plug into the PSU? Thanks.
 
I knew a guy who used to run his celeron at 75 celcius

it lasted him fine until his mobo crapped out

24 is fine and in fact I wish mine was 24
 
So today while my sister was using my new computer, she left a myspace page on while the computer idled. When I got on, the temp was 45C -_-. That's the final straw. I just downloaded coretemp and the temperature for one core is a bit below the one read by Vista, and the other core is WAY below, at around 20C.

During this summer I'm going to save up for either a thermalright true 120 or scythe mugen 2, or some other heatsink. The Scythe Mugen 2 is really attractive and small, bu the Thermalright True 120 has 6 heat pipes instead of just 5 (I think). If it all comes out to be too expensive I'll just watercool. So, if theres any heatsinks that are better than these two, or ones that will be released during the summer, someone let me know please. Thanks.

Also, the temperature and voltage utility that came with my motherboard is off, for the CPU temperature at least. I was wondering if I should remove this? If I ever OC, I could use the other 'automatic' OC utility called T-Utility Over Clock III. The temperature monitor is called Hardware Monitor (HW Monitor); it came with the TF720.

donot worry. cpu temp depends on various things:-
1. room temperature.
2. ambient temperature( case temp).
3. humidity.
either one of these has been responsible for the increase of 2 degrees.
