Do you have Speed Step enabled so the CPU throttles down when not in use or do you have it 'locked' at 4.0 GHz?

I think I had it enabled! Give me one minute! I am going to start my system! Thank you for all of your help!

I do not see an option for Speed Step! I did see Stepping set to C0 in my CPU Info section listed under Advanced Settings!

Some people like to use an adaptive voltage for their Vcore, but I always recommend using a fixed voltage instead of an Adaptive or Offset as both can result in Vcore spikes under heavy loads, especially benchmarks.

I did set some settings to adaptive! I thought that would really help me regulate my settings! I really want to reduce the amount of heat on my CPU! Do you have any suggestions on that?!

With that cooler your idle temps should be lower than 53C . Do you live in the hot desert by any chance ?

My CPU usually idles at 24C , we are having a heatwave here today mid 90's outside and right now it's idling at 30C . This is with my PC power set at performance so it always running at 4.7ghz .

I live in Louisiana! It is really hot outside (not right now; but it is a killer, during the summer), but it is pretty cool inside! No one, but me would keep it extremely cold in my house! I think the temp on the AC set to 76C! It is lukewarm! I know that it has its effects!

It might be listed as EIST.

I think I have seen that! I will check that out tomorrow, and then I will update the information! Thank you so much for all of your help!

Hi there, Zuhl3156! I see EIST (I see Speed Step in the description - I knew I saw it)! I have it enabled; and under it, I have Turbo Boost disabled! Is there anything else you need to know?! Thank you for all of your help!

P.S. - There is a 7-10C difference between my first and third/fourth cores; and a 5C difference between my first and second cores! The temps are now listed as follows: 48/43/42/40!

I have Turbo Boost enabled and my Ring multiplier locked at 40 with Voltage for that set to Default. When I run at stock settings I set my CPU Multiplier to 44 for 'All Cores' and Voltage at Default which generally gives me 1.280v under load. If the Ring bus isn't locked it can increase the multiplier and the voltage with it causing really high temps. Open CPU-Z and see what the CPU speed is while just sitting at your Desktop. I have mine set in Windows Power Plan / Advanced settings to go no lower than 17% and I idle at 1.7 GHz. Your CPU speed should go much lower.

I will, once I install Windows 8.1! I have been adjusting everything from the BIOS/UEFI screen! I have not had the time to do much with it! I will try to install the OS today! I will try everything, and let you know how it turns out! Should I assume you mean "auto" when you say "default"?! Also, how would I lock my settings?! Does it mean to use "manual" settings?! I can not thank you enough for all of your help!
