Observation note on LLC (Line Load Calibration), ROG board
I've been observing LLC's behavior very closely recently and I'd like to share my findings.

- Generally, setting LLC at AUTO will work in most cases. The mobo detects the vdroop very accurately. I noticed that it will generally set your LLC to 75% on auto mode
- Using the following example of my OC - 5ghz, vcore bios 1.375, LCC: AUTO

1) AISuite 2 will show a vcore of 1.368 (0.007) less than actual 1.375.
2) If I lower LCC to 50%, vdroop will occur and it would drop to 1.344. Prime will fail immediately.
3) If I lower LCC to 25%, BSOD will occur immediately
4) If I increase LCC to 100% vcore would go up t 1.400 and fluctuate upwards

Therefore,

LCC @ 75%, BIOS 1.375v, Actual 1.368 = 0.5% error (negative)
LCC @ 100%, BIOS 1.375v, Actual 1.400 = 1.8% error (positive)

I am able to obtain 1.376v by setting BIOS to 1.380 with LCC @ 75%, however LCC fluctuates around 1.368 - 1.376
To obtain the same range of 1.368 - 1.376, I would set LCC @ 100% and Vcore at 1.355.

Summary:
- LCC @ 100% would result in higher Vcore than what was set in Bios
- LCC @ 75% would result in lower Vcore than what was set in Bios
- Either LCC still suffers from the same fluctuation, it's just a matter of setting the Vcore in bios to obtain the same fluctuation range

i.e.

Bios Vcore @ 1.355, LCC @ 100% = Actual Vcore of 1.368 - 1.376
Bios Vcore @ 1.380, LCC @ 75% = Actual Vcore of 1.368 - 1.376

Now, I'm basing this on AISuite's sensor/CPUZ, maybe LCC 100% is actually more accurate if I'd taken measurement with a multimeter.

i wan ask something if i5 2500k 4ghz vs i7 2600k 4ghz will make much diffrenece? bcuz i wan buy i5 2500k or i7 2600k

CPU PLL OV is either enabled or disabled only. Not that one which u can set value.

One unit of brand new sealed 2600K Costa is still available on hand.
All 2600K's regardless of Costa & Malay i've tested so far could do 5GHz easily. Just that my bad luck is most of them very like to suck voltage so much, vcore 1.5v++. Gotta do with their VID.

Costa has higher possibility to get lower VID thus lower vcore and higher OC potential (higher max multi). But this kind of chip is not really have good temps.

Golden batch is 3103B3XX.

Yes, one of goldie..

Wow, no wonder i saw ur vcore and OC is quite decent.
So what max multi can u go into windows with internal CPU PLL OV disabled?
And whats ur max multi and MHz wall?
Congratz!

i dun thk its heat prob.. i can get 50x at 1.51v not exceeding 70c.. at 51x, real temp gives me abt 80c under load, bt got error with linx

Got my procs stable at 4.5Ghz..wanna go for 4.7ghz after this...

have run IBT with AVX before but only at 5 runs..can it be assume as stable..??  i afraid of running IBT..it really burn my procs to 90'c..

vcore and temp improved abit with spread spectrum enabled.
