~24% Power Usage in IDLE GTX 1060

[FizzleDizzle]

Hello,

First of all i want to say sorry for my english, hope you will understand me enough to help me

My PC spec:

i5 6600k, OC @4,1GHz
MSi z170a G43 plus
MSi GTX 1060 Armor 6Gb
HyperX 2x8Gb DDR4 2400 MHz
Crucial BX100 250 Gb
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
OCZ StealthxStream 2 600W

I have problem with power usage of my GPU, its always on ~20-24% in IDLE so my temp grows to ~55C-58C. I think power usage should be on 5-6%. Gpu Load is on 0 so where is the problem? I turned off Nvidia Stream Service and it help only for a moment.

Please help.

Your GPU core and memory clocks should be much lower when idle on the desktop.

But GPU its not in Boost mode. Yesterday when i turned off this Nvidia stream service, power usage drop to 5-6% and temp drop to 36C. But today again same problem.

Are you using Windows High Performance power profile instead of the balanced profile or the Maximum Performance option in Nvidia's control panel under Advance 3D options? It's a just guess it maybe tied to what your observing.

What type of monitor configuration do you have? I had issues when i used 1 144hz 1440p gsync Dell monitor and a standard dell 1200p 60hz on my 1070. It did the same thing it forced it to clock up. I ended up using my primary display at 120hz and my secondary at 60hz to avoid the clock up speeds. Also stupid programs like the battle net launcher use some GPU and i had that causing clock speeds issues as well. I basically removed MSI afterburner as well as evga precisionx software and left my clocks alone because if it wasnt one thing it was another.
