5820k/Sabertooth: setting a max voltage while still using auto?

Like in my sig, im running 4.3/1.27v and the voltage is on auto as i really like the underclocking/undervolting while netflixing/surfing. So my question is, is there a way to set a max voltage while still having a variable voltage? I'd really like to cap it at around 1.25 or even the 1.27 its at, being as it is right now, going above 4.3 creates a LOT more heat as ASUS is pretty generous with the voltage it gives it. I'm sure ASUS is looking out for the stability for me, but I'd like to get it to around 4.5 without the voltage going over 1.3 as the wattage/heat gets pretty crazy and I'm already running xfire. If I'm stuck at 4.3 it wouldn't be the end of the world, any info or good links would be a huge help :)
 
Check your bios for adaptive voltage setting, set the max turbo voltage and use negative offset to get a lower voltage. Adaptive voltage doesn't disable the C states so the motherboard will step down the multiplier and lower voltage when CPU is idle.
