My temps from dead cold boot in UEFI Bios is 37c (27c open case temp).
After booting up and 15 minutes idle, with fresh installed Win8, temp of 4790k is 41-42c (31c case temp).
I get another 5c increase from above if you see temps by switching from UEFI to the traditional classic MIT Bios.
Not even the mobo's tech Support had a "believable" explanation as to why my temps are different between both BIOSes....This is the 2nd Gigabyte mobo that shows this discrepancy (firmware is up to date, btw).
My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H, with Arctic Silver 5 mounted to Noctua D14 heat sink.
Temps are recorded with case open and with an additional 3 120mm Noctua fans mounted in the back on my Antec mid-tower case.

...Forgive my noobness.....HOW can a dead COLD boot be 37C??! Temps are too high, correct?....And then I get an additional increase of 4-5c in UEFI temps after 15 minutes. Is the Noctua heat sink doing it's job?
What are my options?..........Should I RMA the CPU? RMA the mobo? Reapply AS5 with the heat sink?...
I have no idea what to do at this point and seek your experience/wisdom....
