Glad I'm not the only one with an Z97 SOC having this problem.

I've tried a few things with no joy, will be keeping an eye out on this thread.

Go to the second page of this thread and try the restore default to power settings! This worked for me!
 
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)
