I have no idea how, was looking at some guides, but every setting i adjust, boom bluescreen. The NH-d15 is handling 230 watts like the champ it is (60⁰C above ambient), but still I kind of wanted a bit more efficiency. Is there some settings, that are not that hard to fiddle with that could give me a decent drop in watts without impacting performance? My motherboard is the Asrock Z790 taichi lite, and running 7200mhz ram

Correction: I did set the voltage offset to -100mV, which reduced power consumption by 5 watts

No, undervolting improves performance. It will *always* consume to what you set the TDP. So, by lowering the TDP and then undervolting, you can keep the same performance at lower TDP (and that's a lot more than 5W for a 100mV under-volt).
