Brief Newb OCing Question

[irkjab]

If you want, you can try lowering the voltage more. Just test that its stable in prime95 with each drop in voltage. That said, 1.2 is probably fine too. Lower voltage might reduce temps a little.

Ok, now, I set all the cpu voltages to auto, except for vcore (at 1.1875) and i turned ON load line calibration. However, without it, I could only get the voltage down to 2.225. Is load line calibration bad? Should I leave it on? Or turn it off and put the voltage back?

Thank you!

P.S. I know that LLC eliminates vdroop, but I was just curious if it is dangerous at these low voltages.

Here's an article that explains vdroop for you, but it's up to you. I've done a pencil mod on my board a couple of years ago that completely eliminated both vdrop and vdroop and haven't had any problems.

Right, but specifically, is using Load Line Calibration dangerous?

Thanks!
