true, tho my 1090Ts are running 100% mining litecoins
Lower your CPU's core speed 
ATI's CCC has a CPU Power section under Power, that will allow you to change the CPU core speed on the fly...dropped mine from 100% to 50% and it saved me 40W from the wall (and dropped CPU temps by about 8c, stupid 100% CPU core bug still) on my AMD Phenom II X6 1090T. Similar changes can be made in the BIOS as well.
For dedicated mining rigs, you really don't need your 100% as mining is not using the CPU for much, if anything. Save some power and shave some costs off your electricity bill.
