Higher idle Temps?

[shankly1985]

Guys think I have found out why I been getting higher Idle temps then before.

Couple of us have noticed changing from 14.4 drivers we got high idle temps and was fast to blame 14.6.

Well I have done some testing and went back to 14.4 and noticed idle temps was the same about 40-45c, when I remember I used to get 35-40c

So I started looking at other things I have changed, started closing down programs till temps started to drop and to my surprise "Corsair Link" was the program. I remember changing this couple weeks back to run with Windows.

Here my results.

Has you can see here I was idle at 42c, opened Corsair Link and temps went higher.

Spoiler

Closed Corsair Link and Temps dropped a lot.

So if you find you getting higher temps at idle guys and use Corsair Link try closing it, they seems to be a conflict going on here.

I don't use Corsair Link, but my idle temps are much higher than they were when I was using 14.4 (currently using 14.6). I don't think the weather is entirely the cause, as the idle temps have risen considerably.

If I open a youtube video, I've seen idle temps of nearly 50C in some cases, where before it was nearer to the low 30's (in recent weeks).

Is that not hardware acceleration in your browser causing that where clocks will jump up a bit causing the higher temps?

Yeah I disabled this in Chrome settings ages ago and stopped GPU from playing Youtube videos and let the CPU do the work.

Sorry, I was replying to arc@css about the hardware acceleration mate. Should have quoted him, my bad.
