Thinkpad T430 temperatures

[teamde78]

Hi there,

I have a thinkpad t430 as my main driver and I noticed that the temperatures have started to spike up a bit. While doing multiple tasks on my PC, im hitting usually around 60-65 degrees Celsius. It sometimes will spike up to 73-75 (MAX). Should I begin to worry about these temps or are they normal for an aging computer. It has been sometime since I cleaned it out, but after a quick look in the machine it doesn't look bad at all.

Just getting some opinions.

Thanks!

Take the keyboard off, lightly hold the fan down so it won't spin and use a few hits of compressed air on the area. Sometimes dust can build up and still be hidden inside.

If that doesn't change anything reapply AS5 or Tuniq TX-4 Thermal paste to the cpu/gpu areas.

Yea, I think that would probably be best. It's been about a year since I reapplied thermal paste.
