How To Increase Vcore at Idle Without Increasing Vcore At Load?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help please. I've been overclocking my 3770k even further since I added a bigger radiator to my loop.
My OC is stable at full Load, passed 10 hours on AIDA64 Extreme with Zero WHEA errors, but I'm getting occasional software and/or driver error messages pop up at idle.
The issue is, if I increase the Load Vcore even just a little, my OC becomes unstable almost immediately at load, so I need to increase the minimum Vcore at idle without increasing the maximum Vcore under Load. Is this possible???

I'm running Offset Vcore, 1.405v under full load, but when Idling it's dropping my Vcore to less than 1.000v, which is causing the errors.

MoBo is an ASUS Z77 Sabertooth running latest 2104 BIOS.

Any help would be brilliant
Thank you

[Edit]
It's ok I figured it out. Lowered my LLC to Medium, then increased my Offset Vcore seemed to do the trick. Max load Vcore is the same, but idle Vcore has increased.
 
Solution
Increasing your CPU LLC setting (think 75% or 100%) could help. Make sure to watch temps though, as a higher LLC usually results in raised load temps. It's not super severe, but note-able.
