When it comes to vcore it is generally accepted that lower is better in the long run for the life of the CPU. However what I am reading - admittedly from the same sources - is that a lower loadline calibration and a higher set vcore in bios is better than a higher loadline calibration and a lower vcore in bios.
Ultimately the info I'm being given is that a lower LLC means that although the vcore at idle will be higher in the OS, when it comes to load the vcore needed for a stable OC is lower. So is it safe to run at a higher idle voltage to get lower load voltages and if so, how much idle voltage is too much?
EG:
LLC5 Bios 1.4 Idle 1.38 Load 1.32
LLC7 Bios 1.37 Idle 1.369 Load 1.35
Is there anyone here that can weigh in on this?
