Hello guys, my idle temp is on 60°C.

 

 

Hardware:
Asrock z370 Extreme4

I7 8700k (atm not overclocked)

Cryorig quad lumi h7

Asus Rog Strix GTX 1080

2x 8 GB G.Skill TridentZ 3000 MHZ

The PC is 4 months old and i built it by myself.

I changed the thermalpaste and cleaned the cpu fan today but the temp is still at 60-65°C.

I am using the cryorig cp7 thermalpaste.

My Core Clock is always at 4.3 ghz. Can I save power and turn that on idle down? 

Powersettings at balanced.

The ambient temp = 25-30°C.

 

I hope that you guys can understand my english. Its not the best.

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

have you tried to overclock this system? if so, on bootup, spam the DEL key till you enter the UEFI. from there you'll want to reset your UEFI to stock F9 key (load UEFI defaults), then the F10 key to save and exit.

if not, you have something running in the background causing the CPU to stay at 4.3GHZ at idle.

Thank you very much for your answer!

 

I resetted the bios and know my CPU Temp went down to 38-45°C. Swaps around. Is this under idle high or it is acceptable?

These temps are fine. No worries. Definitely better than 60C.
