I know the theory, but not the way it really works. Offset just adds (or subtracts) whatever voltage you specify to the base voltage. So if the base voltage is 1.2 and you need 1.4 for your overclock, you would specify a +0.2 offset. Problem is knowing what the base voltage is, and I haven't seen anywhere that spells that out - so I think it is trial and error where you have to set an offset, then check, then change the offset, and repeat.
Since I can't get mine to sleep above 4.5Ghz, I am just using Auto for now, and it works as advertised - a little high on the load voltage, but nice and low at idle.
I see...thank you very much for the explanation.
