Gigabyte X58A boards - LLC Level 1 vs Level 2?

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Has anyone looked in depth at Load Line Calibration Level 1 vs Level 2?

What exactly does "slightly" mean? How slight? Heh....

Based on software readings (i know, i know) w/ my i7 930:

LLC1 = no vdroop or increase really.
It pretty much maintains vcore under idle/load.
It's lower than what's set in BIOS though.

LLC2 = significant increase of voltage when under load.
So it actually goes up a decent bit under load.
IIRC, load is a bit higher than BIOS set; idle a bit under.

No LLC = bad vdroop.

Anyway, i use LLC1.
Does exactly what i want from LLC.

lol whats the point of LLC2 if it boosts your load voltage ABOVE what you set it at... that's kinda frustrating.

Yeah I notice LLC1 I get 1.300 set, 1.28 idle, 1.26 load. That's decent.

Before it was closer to 1.26 idle, 1.22-1.24 load.

Have yet to try LLC2.

Just realized I should've posted this in mobo section

Perhaps LLC2 is for people that are overclocking with turbo enabled? I could be talking out my ass here.
