I didn't like that fact it sets the bclk to 99.8 that was the main reason I was turning this off.
But I tested this @4.8 and found interesting results.
While it's ON, the load voltage got lower than before and the LinX GFlops score got increased.
With it's off, i was getting 128~130 GFlops and with it on I get 130~132GFlops.
So it seems spread spectrum sets the bclk to the most efficient amount or something... or otherwise the increase of the performance doesn't make sense.
Try it yourself and see.
Also I would never recommend anyone to use LLC at extreme (level1).
You may get to the certain frequency easier since there is no vdroop (that's what extreme setting do... make it flat.)
But the down side is you are risking your chip to get damaged by unwanted voltage spike on load.
vdroop is there to prevent that to happen.
Thus eliminating the vdroop by setting the LLC to extreme is risky especially at higher OC since you are putting higher voltage to begin with.
So any one who uses off-set vcore but use LLC to extreme doesn't make sense....
You save the voltage on idle but you risk getting damaged at load?!?
Set it to level2 (Ultra High) seems to work fine with higher OC.

thanks.
Since it just gives way too much vcore to force it to be stable...
