r/overclocking - for those who like to push their chips a little harder

I have overclocked the base speed and reduced the voltage and the temps are NICE, i cant push it past 60c in heavy gaming. Also the fan isnt going super fast when i first turn the computer on or at random moments.

What i dont like is the watt usage wont go below what you see in the image below for reasons that are obvious to all of you. Now is there a better method to underclock that will give me these sorts of results? I tried the offset method but i may have been doing it wrong as the results were quite poor but id really like it to be able to drop the watts when idle rather than being stuck around 50w.

p.s without any underclock, it takes a mouse move to get it going to 60c and power can be 70 to 120 watts easily.
