    Loadline Calibration Shouldn't damge anything, all it will do is stop vdroop meaning that your CPU when on full load the voltage shouldn't drop and when idle the voltage always stays the same, it shouldn't harm anything, I have had it on from day 1, Only thing that could damage something is clocking your PCI-E port in the bios which can damage your GPU and also the motherboard. but part from that Loadline Calibration is just a pencil mod but without the hardwork

    Sadly there's more to it then just that, Johnny_ftm prolly can give ya more insight... but to sum it up with LLC enabled you can get very bad spikes (read overshoots) that could be lethal to some CPU's (read 45nm) resulting in degradation and co... it all depends on various factors...
    Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved

    Remark : They call me Pro Asus Saaya yupp, I agree
