I can't seem to get the voltage on my CPU to dynamically adjust along with the multiplier. It'll drop down to 800mhz when idle no problem, but the voltage stays at 1.3 regardless.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Everything is enabled in the BIOS such as EIST and C1 etc.
 
I think you need to see if you have a vcore offset, this will add the voltage to the default vcore when the CPU is stressed, I run the Gigabyte Z87X-D3H.

I kept the vcore as is and added the offset (I am not at my pc so can't give you the correct name)
 
Hmm offset did the trick, I was using manual. It's now dropping to 0.8v now when idle.

I am officially doing my part for the environment :) Thx!
 
It should still downclock with fixed voltage on haswell aslong as you set all power saving from auto to enabled

Haswell has onchip vrm
 
Mine won't drop the voltage anymore on manual since flashing to the latest mobo bios. I have tried flashing back to the bios i was on but it made no difference. I can't use a offset because it reads the 1.265v (stock volts + offset) before shooting up to 1.38v. Given up trying to fix it now and have to put up with the voltage not dropping at idle.
 
Yep I had to revert the settings. It was dropping to low at idle but then on load it would rise to 1.3 (as normal) but sometimes would inexplicably shoot up to 1.4 when it really doesn't need to. Couldn't figure out why so gave up.

PC only on for a few hours a day anyway so it doesn't really matter in the end.
