I have a GTX 970, I've had it for a while, and my friend changed some settings in the Nvidia Control panel (idk which ones) to "reduce latency" and ever since then, the card wouldn't down clock at idle, I'm sitting with an idle temp of 63C just using chrome. does anyone know what settings to change to make the card down clock? Also, when this issue is fixed, does anyone know a stable overlclock  I have the EVGA SSC with the ACX 2.0 cooler, I will do it in afterburner

probably energymode, set it to adaptive.

I just tried default settings and adaptive, still ~60 :(

well the fan speed is on minimum

 

As for the overclock its a chip lottery, mine can do 1500 but I use 1418 day to day

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Nah, it's not really high. It depends on the idle airflow in the case. Mine is 37, but I have the case input air via the GPU ventilation. So eventhough the fans are off, it still receives a small amount of airflow.

 

In my previous case it was 50.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by 21c temps. ?

Meh, did you make that comment just so you'd be able to plug your watercooling solution? Please don't do that...

Nah. I don't know the guy's ambient temps. Maybe he has higher ambient or SFF. I just thought 43 was high idle without knowing other determining factors.
