As the title describes, i'm having what appears to be WAY too high for idle temps. My temps are 40C idle and around 60C with full load, this is with a Notcua NH-D14. My volts are set to auto, and multiplier set to 40 @ 100mhz bus frequency.

System is:

Asrock extreme4 x99
i7 5820k
Corsair dominator platinum 16gb 2666mhz
Gtx 1070

I run at 1.296 as the max, with Vrm 1.920. This is for running it at 4.5ghz. You just want to run it at 4ghz, so you might get by with something closer to 1.2. But you have to try.

Let's say you try at 1.2, and the PC runs, then you run a stress-test, and it still works. You could then try 1.15, for instance, and keep lowering it until it crashes. When it does, try increasing it by 0.1 instead. And the other way around if 1.2 does not work.
