Load line calibration question

[belial8321]

Hey guys, i have a fair bit of overclocking experience but have never been to sure on load line calibration, i mean, i know the idea is the supply a constant vcore to the cpu at all times to increase stability and combat vdrop(droop? get them mixed up), but im not sure how to use it, i can have like 10% - 50% or full or auto on my bios - i have also heard that it can cause power surges and fry components, is that true? How can i effectively use LLC to stabilize my overclocks further?

Thanks, Jamie

Thanks for the very informative answers people! I think im going to leave it off, i've managed to get 4.1ghz stable with 1.39V which is almost stock voltage anyway for the 1055t Very interesting info tho, especially azuse, thanks for the essay, (no sarcasm intended) it was very informative

Thats not a Chiv bios, 1902 is most latest BIOS (there are others but they're beta or customer support specific) not saying to change it if everything is fine for you. Was just wondering. Use CPU-Z to see what your bios is or something along them lines.

ah 1304 XD well outdated
