Load line calibration usage in UNDERclocking

[Shutnik]

Title. Having a not-so-good cooler and a i5 8600.

CPU stable with 1.15 LLC set to 7 (max)

And stable in 1.20 LLC set to 1 (min)

There is no option in motherboard to disable LLC at all.

Auto \ Default (LLC on 2 with that one) \ and 1-7 lvl

thanks

PS also is this possible to set 8600 to run 4.3ghz on 6 cores while boosting? just to know

If you are underclocking leave the LLC on auto. Certainly don't run it at max level. LLC will overvolt to give a more stable vcore, and combat vdroop.

Higher LLC levels are usually for trying to really push a CPU overclock.

edit: the 8600 can only all core turbo to 4ghz. That is dependent on thermal solution used and the load on the CPU

Setting LLC to auto bring it to lvl7 , asus motherboard and all. Before i set VCore on manual it was at a 1.3-1.42v and llc7.

Auto settings on asus motherboards is a pure shitpile.

So probably it is for the best to leave it on 1.2 LLC1

Auto has it on level 7? That odd for stock. Okay in that case, set it at it's lowest level, or choose the default setting (lvl 2) but select it manually.

I've an Asus mobo, and LLC works fine. Different architecture, but should react the same way.

Having grilled a CPU with LLC on an Asus board in the past I would always suggest to disable it or set it to low and fix the voltage manually to the level needed for stable operations. Thus same as you did with 1.2V.

The idea around LLC is nice, but especially with heavy OCs can create high voltage peaks that can grill your CPU.
