    Voltages are related to idle (2D) clock and performance (3D) clock.
    My recommendation is not to alter these in the pursuit of energy saving ($)...
    Your best bet is to repaste if you are seeing higher temps at idle. Icd7 :)

    Good luck.

    I think 100 might be a bit too extreme.. No harm done in making it 125/150.. I used to run around 150 I think and it was fine...
