Question about Sandy Bridge Idle voltage

My 2500k is currently OC'd to 4.6ghz @ 1.35v on an Asrock P67 Pro3.
I had set the voltage to 1.35v fixed because if I set it using the offset method it doesn't work right and spikes my voltage to 1.4v. I dont know why.

I've turned on all power saving features, but I'm wondering how much more power my comptuer is going to use at idle if the voltage is 1.35v fixed. It still runs at 1.6ghz idle. Is there any way to lower the idle voltage?
 
Without using auto voltage or default with an offset, i'm not sure if you can get the voltage to drop at idle.
 
The spike to 1.4V might be caused by the loadline calibration setting. Not sure what the Asrock has for options, but on the Asus boards setting high levels of LLC results in added voltage, not just reduced Vdroop.
