ive managed to get my 4770 temps on idle around 22-28 on idle, with the help of a aio water loop,
i was just wondering if i turned off the hd 4600 will it go lower....
as i have a gtx 980 on the way.

bit of a random question im sure but im a temp freak and never really thought of it

Idle temps are fine, since your putting in a GTX 980 you dont need the Intel HD graphics but theres no benefit to turn them off as far as the temp. I would only disable the HD drivers if for some reason the gpu wasn't reconized. If your concerned still about the temps try raising fan speeds, replacing thermal paste on cooler and/or adding in more case fans. Also make sure that the cooler is properly seated on the cpu.
