    My Load Line Calibration is ENABLED. From what I read once the Pencil Vdroop mod is performed that setting does not matter much.

    As for lower voltages on some of my setttings I tried many combinations. So far I have tried 42 test runs and 20th distinct set of BIOS settings. That excludes any settings/tests that could would not post or pass 10 minutes of prime95 and there were several of those failures.

    Good luck

    Edit: Last test just failed after 19hr 45min. Oh well have to up the vNB again and retest. At least vNB are still within safe limits.
