i7 7800K @ 5.0Ghz + 1.34V, looking to allow it to cool down on idle.

So, I managed everything from utilisation to CPU.

The fix was:

Create a new plan and put minimum CPU utilisation on minimum at 5% and max at 100%. Nothing else matters.

For some reason, it seems the basic plans don't let you do it.

Now, into my BIOS, I have 1.34V @ 5.0 Ghz, no offsets, no nothing.

C-States disabled.
Enchanced Turbo enabled.
EIST enabled.
LLC Mode 4.

I'm stuck as to what I should do now. The voltage mode seems to have many options such as Adaptive + Offset, Offset, Adaptive, etc.

I still don't understand what the offset should be. I saw my CPU pushing 1.4V in CPU-Z at max speeds. Does that mean I need to set an offset of -0.5V? -- I did just that, but the computer would just go BSOD after load, it means it's not getting enough power.

So, my current goal is to have the computer say "Okay, I see that my frequency is lower, so is my utilisation, I will only use as many volts as I need, instead of 1.34V, so this way I'll stay cooler 99% of the time."

This guy seems to have done it on the Maximus X Hero: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic...and-speedstep/

I had an offset OC going with -40 and it was working fine but after a couple of days I noticed that my vcore was higher than it was before...strange same -40 offset...then it was lower than normal so I kept bumping it up, -30, -20, -10 and by that time I knew what I wanted my vcore to be for the benching/stressing I was doing so I went to fixed and it's been solid ever since.
