It depends on your system and usage. Lowering the CPU wattage can help save energy and reduce heat, but if you're running demanding tasks, it might slow performance. Keeping it in the middle usually balances efficiency and performance. Check your specific needs and monitor temperatures.

Essentially yes, reducing voltage leads to decreased temperatures. However, it's important to verify performance since lower voltage may also cause reduced efficiency and eventually instability.

The goal is to lower the voltage for stability or efficiency. It could be related to overclocking or using a laptop.
