I think lowering the voltage may lower the temps, but you don't want it too low to the point that it becomes un-stable...

If you overclocked your system... and you raised the voltage, decreasing the voltage will "starve" the CPU and cause crashes and stuff :D

But if you raised it for no reason, down it.

And if you just want to save $$$, leave StepSpeed to do that.
