ASPM settings got grayed out (disabled) after BIOS update. I had tried getting this to work before updating BIOS also, although not so extensively, but with the same results. Sadly no, there is no setting with a title or description mentioning c-states. The setting I thought would affect this was 'Package power limit lock', but this one becomes available only if setting 'Turbo mode' is enabled, so I think that this setting actually allows the cpu to pull more power than it's TDP and is not about power saving. I'm really frustrated with this especially since others with Fujitsu board (albeit other model, D3222 but with the same chipset) have achieved C6 / C7 mentioned in the google sheet.

Hi everyone, I'm really new to Unraid, linux and home servers as a whole, in fact this is my first home server/nas build. I've been trying to get this working for past few days and really can't get it to decrease the power usage. Hardware: M/B: Fujitsu D3243-S12 updated to the latest BIOS version CPU: i7-4790T RAM: single stick 8GB DDR3 USB stick with Unraid (tried in multiple different ports) All SATA drives disconnected (thus Array stopped ofcourse); no PCIE devices connected, Power supply: Seasonic M12II-850 Bronze tried in both ways - ATX mode, and 12V only - since the M/B supports this. I know I could save a few watts by upgrading to another power supply (and I intend to). So, the CPU c-states are working just fine - most of the time being at C7; but the package c-state never reaches even C2. Have tried on Ubuntu also - the same. On Windows 10, a tool Throttlestop reports that Package C states are locked to C1. I've tried changing settings in BIOS through and through, disabling all unused devices as far as disabling all sata etc. What could be the cause of this? could it be just that BIOS/motherboard does not support it? Please, if you have any ideas what could cause this, do let me know. Link to images - https://imgur.com/a/qIQypZq
