Core clock is correct at idle at like 255 but Memory Clock is at 9250 while at idle. This was fixed by DDU clean driver install and re install of MSI Afterburner but then it came back again.

Refer the above.

It says :
You would also want to determine if the monitor/s you are running require more pixel clock from the card than is possible at the idle frequency (usually 139 Mhz - 253 Mhz). If you are running 2 or more monitors that are 1440p or higher resolution or you are running any monitors that are high refresh rate, 120Hz or higher per second refresh rate, it may keep the card at higher frequencies. This is particularly common with systems running multiple monitors where one monitor is running at 60 Hz and the other is running at 100 Hz or higher. In order to get the card to work at lower frequencies with this configuration, you may need to enable "Multi Display Power Saver" in the Nvidia Inspector third-party software

Its mainly coz you have 2 monitors. Read that article above (the first page of the article is quoted above)
