Too me it's almost the same as doing a Pencil mod, and people do that all the time
I also heard, if your v-core is not too close to the max v-core volts it should be fine!
I use it. In windows i get 1.312v v-core and it doesn't move
And at 1.312v i thing I'm safe

The way they say it can harm the CPU, is you loose the protection from voltage spikes!

so this board just won't let me OC up to 3.9 no matter what i bump up

god dam it

i had LLC enabled earlier for a few run, i think it was worst than having it "disabled".

It's good to be safe bro.

I never used it until it was fully explained to me and I learned about the 45nm voltages.

Let's say you enable LLC and load 1.25v in bios as the vcore. Windows shows 1.245 (just as an example here). That's a droop of .05 still--you will always have a bit. That's your boards particular droop. So you figure, if your boards going to over correct it'll be by .05v.

Your chips (all 45nm chips) max voltage is actually 1.45 per Intel's data sheets. So 1.4 would be the voltage required before you would have a spike large enough to actually push you to the voltage limit.

If you are under 1.3265 (the max VID, which is NOT the max voltage that chip can take 24/7) .05 would put you no where near the voltage limit. Let's say you have 1.248 in bios and 1.243 in CPU-Z with LLC and the droop was .05, any spike would put you at 1.248....

Check this out. I'll bet if you load optimized defaults in bios and leave everything on auto including vcore. Boot into Windows at stock speeds and timings and look in CPU-Z the board is giving your chip more vcore than you have going through it now in Windows.

At stock speeds (2.8 for me) and everything on auto with no LLC my board gives my chip 1.328 volts. I can go all the way up to 3.1 at less voltage than that with LLC enabled--1.232....and be fully stable.

All LLC does is remove the massive droop (requiring less constant voltage) and minimize fluctuations going under and out from under loads.

But in the end it's your call.

reps to crash. I wish we could sticky that. Very well put.

Here is the BIOS menu. http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/giga...st-bios-28441/
I use F10b

What's the best way to pull my voltage settings in windows, like you guys have done it? I don't want to use ET6.

NoGuru

sintricate good to see ya. ET6 is the only way I know.

How's it going?

I see people posting up their settings like this http://www.overclock.net/6774309-post4606.html

Was that done manually? I want to display all my settings in windows like that.

NoGuru

Got it. Go back a few pages and look for Grishkathefools posts in his sig is the template.

Edit just found it.
