Hi guys. I got this new board along with a killer 4790K cpu and all is up and running. But the temps are to high for my liking, about 40-48 C on idle and 75-80 on load/gaming. Also have a problem with going back to idle after gaming. My board is known for making those high voltage on cpu so i did a bios update to latest F7. The temps dropped a little to 39-44 C but i think they can go further than that. Is there a way around for my board to work like my good "old" 3570K who never went over 65 C on load and stayed on 35 C on idle:) I have a evo 212 cooler so i should be good with the air cooling along with 4 fans in my case. Just ask if i have forgotten any thing else.

Strange enough after an hour or so i turned on the pc again and it was fine on idle, 36-38 C' and 55-60 on load??? Haven't gamed again after last time when i couldn't get back to idle. Should i try with Vcore on cpu or what? And last is it possible to downgrade from bios F7 to F6?
