Artificial CPU loading to reduce voltage spikes?

[16awala]

Now I'm a complete amateur when it comes to overclocking, so I may be misinformed or missing something entirely here, which is why I'm asking.

 

The way I understand it, when a processor (particularly one that has been overclocked) abruptly comes off of high load, there is a spike in voltage. The way to combat this is Vdroop, which lowers voltage under load so that in such an event the voltage spike does not exceed the processor's specifications, or the voltage the user has defined. Vdroop, however, is a double edged sword in this manner, because reducing voltage under load means reducing stability, sometimes to the point of causing errors or crashes.

 

So here's my question - Would it not be possible to design software, or perhaps even better an integrated circuit, that would be able to detect the processor coming off load, and if utilization was dropping too rapidly feed more or less arbitrary instructions to the cpu to reduce load more gradually, thereby potentially eliminating voltage spikes and in turn vdroop to allow more stable voltages and more stable overclocks?

 

If it is plausible, has it been done? If not, why?

 

If it isn't, could you explain to me why so I might have a better understanding of the issue?

One way to combat Vdroop(which was formed by Intel) is to use Load Line Calibration.

you cant repost on purpose to get more attention 

I wasn't, I realized I had posted in the wrong forum just a moment after I posted in general discussion, and so posted in the correct forum, and if I could have I would have deleted my original post.
