My Cpu Throttles without being overheated, and i tracked the problem to the voltage (correct me if im wrong) Cpu is AMD 8350 and throttles at 54 degrees, so i decided to turn on load line calibration to try to fight this voltage drops but it makes my PC crash, why?
 
Solution
If your system is at default then you don't need to use LLC. This is to provide extra voltage when you OC to prevent voltage droop. Leave it disabled.
Hi Primeblue :) This can also be power supply related.

Your CPU should not throttle at 54C. Throttling is heat related and throttling occurs at well over 80C.
LLC is to provide core voltage adjustment when system is under load. However this can effect the MB VRMs which can overheat if the processor is OCed. Generally the MB would shut down to prevent damage.

Load Line Calibration is set differently on some boards. Some are set in %, others in numbers and some its just turn it on. To maintain stability and get the right setting, you need to monitor your max and min voltages in HWMonitor when the system is under load to check for any voltage droop then adjust accordingly. Many UEFI Bios also have Current capability and that should also be raised when OCing.

Please list you MB and to what frequency have you OCed the FX-8350.?
Also list any other changes in Bios.?
What is your cooling system.?

It's probably a good idea to list your full system specs.

The thing is that i dont even have my cpu overcloocked its at the default 4.00ghz
In bios i have C1E disabled and cool n quiet disabled as well. I also have LLC disabled for know (its the type of turning it on or off)
My full specs are:

Cpu - Amd FX-8350
Gpu - R9 280 (non "x" edition)
MB - Asus M5A97 LE R2
Power Supply - Corsair CX600
Ram - Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600 GHz
Cpu Cooler - Corsair H60 120mm


Thanks for the help in advance
