I find my CPU is almost 10 degrees cooler when idle with them turned on - slightly above ambient.

Is there any estimate to how much power these options actually save? How much extra is running my chip at a constant 4ghz gonna cost me/make me feel guilty?
I turn off every single power saving feature. In windows I even disable sleep and don't allow the monitor to turn off either. My computer is pretty much 100% load all the time. Not going to be saving power either way.
