Hi there. I have just updated to windows 10 last night and it has been running flawlessly except for the temperature. My GPU idle temp was 37-40 (Windows 8.1) and after upgrading to Windows 10, the idle temp is now 47-50. It really worries me. Gaming temp is still fine.

Idle fan speed is 30% (same as Windows 8.1)

It is not a full driver, it is a hot fix.

Also if you think it is windows 10 related, I would update my bios. If that does nothing, your last recourse is to contact AMD, stating the problem so that they know it needs to be fixed.

The new Crimson driver set has a known bug right now where the fan profile is messed up. They sent out a hot fix which should solve the problem. Look on AMD's website for the hot fix and report back if that fixed it.
