to get 125w what voltage do i need to set it at?
The object of the game is to lower the CPU voltage as far as you can... till the CPU becomes unstable. Then you raise it like .05 for stability.
Just set your CPU voltage at 1.35 and then run a stability test. If if doesn't crash, lower it another .05 etc.
When it finally does crash, then raise it back to the last setting. I got my 8350 down to 1.275 volts. It helps with the CPU and the VRM temps.
If you watch the CPU voltage in CPU-Z you'll see that when left on Auto, the CPU voltage can go as high as 1.45v. You shouldn't need that much unless you are overclocking.
VRMs are voltage regulators. The higher the CPU voltage, the harder the VRMs have to work
