Hi.
I recently put together a new PC based on 3570K, GA-H77N-WIFI and a Noctua NH-L9i cooler.
When I boot into BIOS, temperatures (both the unified and core specific ones in M.I.T) read around 46C in which is high considering the low load (don't know if it considered IDLE in OS terms though).
I also notice all cores run at 3800Mhz, which is the Turbo Boost upper limit.
When is switch TB off temps go down to ~41C (still hot IMO) and speed is 3400Mhz of course. It seems silly to keep TB off as it's only supposed to operate at load.
Why is TB activated in BIOS when there is no load? shouldn't all cores show 3400MHz as the operating frequency?
I read somewhere that BIOS temp readings are inaccurate and that certain power management features are not implemented, namely it does load CPU more that the OS would at "idle". Is this true?
Thanks.
