it should definitely lower them, I ended up moving the 4790s into my dell 9020 usff and putting an i5 4670(84w tdp!) with the same settings and it seems to obey the limit
just make sure you completely remove intel xtu and reboot before installing throttlestop(if you already have throttlestop installed, consider reinstalling from scratch)
I found throttlestop seemed to only work properly after intel xtu was completely removed from the system
always use hwinfo to confirm voltage offsets too, should show whether throttlestop is working or not
I use occt to confirm power usage(will flatline with a package power usage of 52w)
