NB runs 1c hotter.

Another issue too, I need 1.288 vcore to be orthos stable at 4.25 Ghz. I was previously setting 1.30 with LLC on which is giving me 1.288 idle and 1.296 load. I have now changed this to LLC off and 1.36, which fives me 1.320 idle and 1.288 load. Rig is totally stable. The strange thing is with LLC off I get lower temps under load. Before I was hitting 66c load, now with LLC off and same volts, i am hitting 61c load. My idle temps with LLC off are also around 5c higher but im not bothered about idle temps, load is all that matters. Dont know if this is always the case for everybody but surprised and pleased with my new lower load temps with LLC off
To answer why your idle temp is higher:

LLC on = 1.288 idle
LLC off = 1.320 idle

more volt -> more temp
