right now I'm tweaking my overclock for the 7700k and seeing how far it can go. i did it in the past but I'm only really doing this now since I bought the 5700xt.

Bios settings I have all cores running at 4.6ghz with a fixed voltage of 1.28 and load line calibration at level 2 (from 1-4). With the picture I've sent, you can see at max load my voltage sometimes spikes to 1.29V but only seems to need 1.245V during a heavy load. I don't understand where this 1.29v is coming from unless its the LLC giving it too much.

should I just turn of LLC and set my fixed voltage to 1.245?
