I tried 1.36 when I set this offset OC up, it didn't like it, IBT was throwing warnings at me. Will take a look tomorrow though and see what I can lower

Ok I just got my offset down a little, it was actually at +0.030 not 0.020 like i said earlier. Anyway it is now actually at +0.020 I'm giving it a quick test now and if it lasts half an hour i am going to drop LLC down 1 notch, give it a quick test and if everything looks ok I will leave it running overnight.

I would find the LLC that makes you at the setting you set in bios for load. Example if you have to run high llc to have 1.35 at load and in bios then run that. That way things will be easier and you will be able to remember it blah blah.

Anyway use the same llc and just keep dropping the vcore down as low as you can. Once you hit the point where you are not stable, up it just a tiny notch =D

Without knowing the exact voltage the chip has on its internal lookup table for 4.5ghz it is a bit of guess work to work out where to put LLC to keep the voltage at the right point under load, however with a little trial and error I have now come up with a +0.025 offset voltage (it didn't like 0.020), LLC set to medium which has dropped temps by 2-3 degrees and is showing 1.344v under full load. It just passed 20 runs at very high in IBT so I am setting it for 100 runs at max and going to bed will report back in the morning.
