I just applied the AI Tweaker adjustment in the BIOS, which auto-set my CPU to 3.9GHz (the standard recommended value for AI Tweaker).
My idle temperatures have risen from 28-32°C to 40°C (with Realtemps monitoring).
I'm using an Asus Z97-A motherboard with a Hyper 212 EVO cooler.
Any suggestions?

My temperatures are now hovering between 45-50°C.
When I play at ultra high settings, it never exceeds 60°C...
Anyone have a clue? I've already tried fresh Arctic thermal paste.
This issue began after installing ASUS Suite 3 (which I later removed and reset the BIOS).
Even though my CPU clock shows underclocking in CPU-z and low core voltage, the temperature stays around 45°C with no load, but drops below 60°C during intense gaming.
