CPU was running extremely hot (50C under triple radiators, 10C hotter than my SLI 1080tis) as I was running v-core at manual 1.25V. I have changed the v-core to offset with +.2 V which has decreased temps by 10C but I feel like more can be done.
I noticed from some monitoring apps that my ratio is locked at 42, even when the system is idle. This seems totally unnecessary when, for example, I'm posting on [H]. Can anyone explain to me what I'm missing? There is nothing obvious in the bios that I can see that is preventing the CPU from downclocking apart from possibly the cache ratio being locked at 37 (min, max)?
Kind of stumped, any help would be appreciated. Thank you !!
