4790k Idle Temps

Hmm I will have to look at my power save options in bios, I have opened was a ticket with corsair asking about my pump problem if this is the reason
 
Hi, I'm going to list all my bios settings now for my CPU and Power as after putting the stock cooler in for testing the temps are 65c idle!!! I need help urgently please :(

Okay,

I tries using the stock cooler from intel and the idle temps were 65c with this, Way too high. Anyone got any ideas of why this is happening? This is 15c higher then what my h100i was and i was uncomfortable with those temps.

I don't know your bios but it looks to me like your not using an offset, Just stick your voltage back on auto and set your clocks back to stock and see if that changes anything. If I set a voltage like that in my bios it would force it all the time, like I said I dunno your bios though.

Hi,

I though my clocks were set to stock i did not think the volts could be set on auto. Have you seen this setting somewhere in my images

Unless you live in an old people's home, idle temps in the 60s would usually be an indication of the cooler/paste not being fitted properly. I've done it myself in the past. Are you cleaning it properly before re-applying some fresh?

I used the isopropyl alcohol to clean the paste off and i will do this again tonight and re apply the paste using the stock cooler as it is easier to test with at the moment.

CPU VCore, in my bios I have an "auto" option which automatically adjusts voltage to suit your clocks, then I have "normal" option which adjusts voltage but incorporates an offset which you adjust below, then lastly ya have an option to insert a number like your 1.18 which it will lock it to.

Like I said probably different in your case been a different mobo but I thought it's worth mentioning.

Okay thank you for that. Im going to try and set mine to auto and test without my additional RAM and without changing the frequency of my RAM to as i changes it to 1866 from 1333 as thats what my RAM can run at.

I am also going to try loading optimized defaults if non of this works.
 
Yes the voltage in the Core temp VID is not dropping when idle. Constant 1.185V

I have re insatlled my h100i and paste is all good, i'm confident its the V-core not dropping when idle now
 
Where can I find the EIST and I can change the C's form auto to either enable it disable?

I will also try reflashing to the bios version

I believe I need an adaptive mode but i don't know what it's called on gigabyte bios for me. I see cpu offset
 
Tried enabling both of these, no luck. i have no idea how i even get this to work. Might post in the motherboard section asking about the gigabyte BIOS and how to get it ti dynamically drop volts.
 
The temp in bios is around 33c in windows its goes around 40c - 50c. I've tried all different power settings and this made no difference really.

When the V-core is on auto it runs at 1.2(something) all the time which make the idle temps even higher for me
 
I can check that when i'm home and i will post you my findings.

What are your C Sates (are these in BIOS) what should each be set at? Auto, enabled or disabled?
 
RESULTS AND SOLUTION

Windows Idle temp used to be 50c - 65c now 20c - 30c

Load temps before and after are from 50c - 70c dependent on load

Frequency now moves dynamically with V-core Voltage
Windows Power Options - Change Plan Settings - Restore Default Settings for this plan (Do this for all plans if you want)

Select either BALANCED or POWER SAVE plan

Reboot straight after

No check temps after reboot.
(I also uninstalled Intel Extreme Utility Tuning while doing all troubleshooting)
