What brand TIM? How old is the TIM? It ain't drying out is it?

Dust, maybe, need a clean out?

Has Ambient temps changed?

Thanks for the suggestion. After about two minutes I get to 67-74 on the cores and it stays there. However, I am confused as my problem is occuring when I am using my computer as normal not under 100% load.

It's warm in my room today but not any more so than usual. My computer isn't that old I can't imagine it's dusty enough to cause problems. It is getting moved to my office in less than a month so I could give it a clean then.

I used the TIM that came with the CPU cooler I think? At work all day I refurbish OEM Dell/HP/etc computers from the Core2 era and the TIM isn't dry on there so why would mine be out yet? I'm sure my computer is cooled better than a 6 year old Dell that's never been dusted!

I have had some TIM that came with a processor that got rock hard in just a few months. And, I don't know your dust conditions.
Just some ideas...

Ugh I will wait to deal with it until I swap it out with my secondary PC with single monitor, and move my main computer with tripe monitors to the office. Until then a little more noise won't bother me.
If it persists after a thorough dusting I'll reapply TIM.

Thanks all - I wou;dn't have thought of the TIM thing because this computer is so new :/
