Hey guys, been having this issue for awhile. I remedy it by reinstalling drivers and sometimes MSI together but it always pops back up in a few days. I idle normal when skype is closed at 135mhz but soon as skype opens and loads, it boosts up to 1291, not my max clock but still higher than i like. Other random programs also cause this I noticed which is weird but skype is def the one that I would like fixed as im always on it for one and dont like my clocks being that high/temps all day long when not even gaming. 
 
Anyone else have this issue and know of a fix. Strangely enough google didnt even have answers. Found 1 person with same issue but his was because he had prefer maximum performance on which i do not, tried few random things besides the reinstall of drivers but nothing seems to stick.

    Just force the clocks to idle? Or does that cause a black screen?

    I am running Skype Version 7 and I do not see the same issue.
    I am not using K-Boost.

    If u mean force the clocks to idle by useing the bat file that was posted on here, i have not tried that as wasnt sure of the configuration to use since the bats i got were tweaked for my old 780 and been awhile since i used. And i am also not using K boost or anything.

    Yes. All you have to do is copy and paste the following... "C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:0,8 into notepad, Save AS... Force Idle.bat and save to Desktop.
