Processor Integrated VR Efficiency mode

In Intel XTU everyone has stated under the heading of "other" we are to disable both Processor Integrated VR Faults, and Processor Integrated VR Efficiency mode.

I understand turning off processor integrated VR faults becasue we are overclocking and that is like a safety switch. However the explanation of

Processor Integrated VR Efficiency mode is almost tricky.

XTU says having it enabled does the following :

it disables energy efficiency measures within the processors integrated voltage regulator, and may allow operation at a higher reference clock ratio.

My question is wouldn't we want to keep that enabled? XTU is basically saying that option disabled energey savers built into the processor and by it doing so it will allow for a higher reference clock.

Can someone explain that to me in regular people language. lol.
If it said it ENABLED energy efficeincy then i would understand disabling it, but this is saying otherwise. I wrote it word for word but if you want to read it for yourselves, just go to "other" and put your mouse cursor over the small i in the circle and a explination will pop up.

 

Nobody here knows why we are disabling it and yet everyone is disabling it. If you read googles explanation it seems like something you would want kept enabled .

Processor Integrated VR Efficiency Mode
4th Generation Intel® Core™ processors are equipped with an integrated voltage regulator (VR) that supplies variable voltage to individual domains within the processor based on their current operating conditions and frequencies. This VR optimizes energy consumption by dynamically adjusting power delivery characteristics when operating at lower frequencies. The VR, however, does not consider changes to the reference clock frequency when making these adjustments.
When raising the turbo mode and reference clock frequency, disabling processor integrated VR efficiency mode may improve the system stability. However, this will likely result in less efficient processor operation that consumes additional power and generates additional heat.

In turbo mode or BCLK OC, the Processor VR efficiency is set to disable (uncheck). It will force IVR to always run in max power delivery capability mode.
Who want a "green/energy friendly" processor? Max power is what is interesting . A processor that runs at low clock frequency must take a longer time to do a task; Is this a lot more energy-efficient (green) than an overclocked processor that does the same task much faster?

 

Thank you for the information. The correct information. its a shame we have to go through like 4 pages of google now a days to get passed websites who pay bump their standings . So thank you for explaining it for me.

 

You're welcome.

I need help guys I have a eurocom m5 pro but in xtu for a while I disabled the vr faults and the ption to turn it on has dissappeared
