I just installed HWMonitor and checked my temps. CPU looks fine at idle temps between 39 and 44 degrees C. The GPU is staying at 58 C. Is this normal, or should I increase my fan speed a bit? I recall it being in the mid 40s when I first built my computer a year ago.

My computer was cleaned about 3 days ago with a can of compressed air. If I need to increase fan speed, how should I do it in OSX? Thanks.
