Hello guys,
I have recently built a system with the Intel i5-4670k as CPU. While running CPU-Z I have noticed the multiplier is 38 all the time, so it's always running at 3.8GHz, the max Turbo Boost frequency, even though it's idle. My temps are now around 45°C even at idle (intel cooler). I know it wasn't always like this, because the first time I used CPU-Z my speed was 800MHz. I have already used Speccy to check if CPU-Z was giving a crazy number, but it gives the same reading. I already loaded the BIOS defaults (Asus Z97-A) and made sure speedstep was enabled. C-States are at "auto" so that isn't the problem. How can I get my CPU to dial back while idle?
