This may be a ridiculous, stupid question but I gotta ask. Recently, I have noticed that my average idle temperature has increased from the high 30's C to the high 40's C. I've also noticed that while playing counterstrike source, the avg. temp has gone up from about 90 degrees C to around 94-95 degrees. I guess I really noticed it after I installed a 120 GB OWC SataIII drive. I did a clean install of the OS, ran the software updater and then brought over my programs and files using time machine. A few days/weeks go by and I noticed that my idling temperatures have creeped up by about 10 degrees C. It doesn't appear that any programs are running out of control in the background. I have provided screenshots of both my activity monitor and of safari up with the temperature display of smcfancontrol showing at the top. Any ideas as to why this would/could be the case? I'm not really anal about the temperature itself, I'm just wondering what could account for the increase in average temperature. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
