Z270 Apex I7 7700K Cpu Volts Not Reducing

NIK111
Level 7
I have a 5.0 oc using adaptive voltage on my I7 7700k and all is stable while stressing.I have C-States on enabled and Intel SpeedStep enabled also.What I want to do is have the voltage drop with the core on idle and so far with windows power options on balanced the core speed drops down to 0.8 on idle but the vcore voltage does not drop.Is there any other power saving setting I need to set to get the voltage to drop with the core when in windows with power saving set to balanced..Any info appreciated...

If you want lower voltage, enable C3 and see if that will work.

I set it to C3 and the core clock drops to 0.8 but the core volts stay the same.no voltage drop.

What other bios settings have you changed? Turbo boost? Speedstep? SVID, Etc.
If all you did was change multiplier and adaptive voltage it should reduce with load/frequency, if setup correctly voltage will scale regardless of C states being disabled or enabled

Can you post screenshots of all the BIOS settings that you've modified? Use a pendrive and the F12 key while inside the BIOS to save the images.
