Hi,

I'm undervolting my cpu I'm currently down to 1.025 but when I load the cpu it goes up to 1.042.

I have set the loadline to high .. is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.
 
Load line calibration is designed to increase voltage at load to compensate for v-droop(a small drop in voltage). If you set it high enough, it will increase voltage at load instead of just stopping the droop.

Please try medium LLC

Also note that turbo boost can do things on its own sometimes. I have a system that does 1.04 prime95, but single core loads have higher voltage because boost sets those voltages for lower core count with higher clock speeds. This may be board specific however.

it seems to like High LLC ..not getting a drop off under load still 1.104 if I set 1.100 but my Dvid option seems phased out on my bios and stuck in auto.

I should have posted my rig first but anyway I'm running a 3750k on a GA z77x DH3.

Thanks again
