I've recently updated by BIOS for my MSI Pro Carbon x470 mobo and my idle temps seem to have jumped. Before the update I was idling at about 35 degrees, now it idles at 60, though only getting to about 65-70 when stress testing. So I would assume those idle temps should be a lot lower. Normally I would just say screw it but those are a really high idle temps. Ive underclocked, undervolted, and put all my fans to 100 percent and I can't get anywhere below 55.

Is anyone else with an MSI board having a similar issue? Not sure what to do as I can't downgrade the bios.

List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: Which version of Windows 10 are you on?

Are you on aftermarket cooling?

Which BIOS version are you on? Did you manually update the BIOS or did you use a third party app(like Dragon Center)? Are those temps in BIOS or seen on a thermal monitoring app?

I actually realised that MSI software was causing this. Recommend disabling all MSI technologies
