Just finished a new build, I reused my i5 4670k from my previous PC, it's not overclocked and it's only 2 years old and ran perfectly before. Still runs perfectly now, as when i play games and run benchmarks; there's nothing wrong with it.
However, when my system is at idle, my CPU is still at it's turbo speeds. It jumps between 3.6-3.8 GHz, and never drops down below 3.6, never mind it's base clock of 3.4GHz. I've done a BIOS reset, and that had no effect, and doubt its to do with any settings that I've toggled in windows. - my power options are fine in case you're wondering.
Here's a screenshot of CPUID HWMonitor, after idling a few minutes. (Max temps are from when I had a game open)
Wouldn't mind it, if it wasn't bumping up my idle temps and wearing out my processor faster.
