i5 2500K OC - Boost / Offset Mode?

Hey guys,

 

I started overclocking my i5 2500K on my MSI Z77A-GD55.

I got a stable OC at 4.5 GHz with a 1.323V (Core) and 1.206V (IO).

 

But I would like my CPU to only go that high, when the power is actually needed.

I enabled EIST and the C-States, but (according to CPU-Z) the processor is still running full speed all the time.

Unfortunately, the UEFI of my board does not seem to have an Offset-Mode / Option.

 

Any tips how I can achieve this behaviour?

EDIT: The Voltages in CPU-Z are wrong. I read them from the V-Check Points on my motherboard....
