I have the latest precision x version. 
Windows 10 64bit fully updated as of today
i7 3930 k
16 gig ram
asus rampage iv formula
ssd
geforce 980
 
I can not get my GPU and voltage to down clock. This has been going on for a long time. I am worried that I am going to prematurely burn up my card. 
 
GPU is stuck at 1265 Mhz
Voltage is stuck at 1056
 
I have set the GPU power settings to adaptive.
 
Please see the attached screen shot.
 
Any ideas guys?

    Here are the top causes of why a GPU would run at full clocks at idle...
     
    #1 You're running multiple monitors. Fix: Enable mutil display power saver using nvidia inspector.
    #2 Your machine has a virus. Fix: Scan computer using malwarebytes.
    #3 One or more programs running in the background are using your GPU. Fix: Perform a clean boot of windows.
    #4 Power management mode inside the nvidia control panel is set to prefer maximum performance. Fix: Set power management mode to adaptive then reboot your computer.
    #5 Running a resolution of 2560x1440 @ 144Hz. Fix: Change refresh rate to 120Hz.
    #6 K-Boost is enabled inside Precision X. Fix: Disable K-Boost.
    #7 Shadowplay is enabled inside geforce experience. Fix: Disable shadowplay inside geforce experience OR completely uninstall geforce experience from your machine (highly recommended)
