I'm confused what state I'm at in the process. My Titan has been running flawlessly since 2014 getting app 350 Mh/s with the stock settings of 325 MHz and -.0366 V but has always run hot. I never saw any real benefit to running the GenTarkin firmware but after recently adding an L3+ to my home mining, I thought I try the GenTarkin firmware Energy Saver feature in an attempt to get some heat out of my environment. I started the Energy Saver and it immediately made some changes including turning off dies with temps over the 90 degree threshold (e.g.: Dies currently throttled due to DCDC over temp threshold) and reducing a few to 300 MHz

Based on a reading of the documentation, I was expecting nothing to happen immediately since it says:

When energy saver is turned on. Stage 1 of 3 begins: It will restart bfgminer, have an initial 1.5hr cooldown then the first voltage adjustments will be made. All enabled die voltages will be lowered a single “notch”.

I didn't experience a 1.5 hr cooldown before adjustments were made but experienced immediate adjustments.

Also, the Energy Saver immediately went into an "IDLE" state which I interpret as nothing happening based on Status – IDLE – when no tuning is in progress from the documentation

Is something taking place? If not, how do I leave the IDLE state and restart the Energy Saver process?

Thanks
