on the 16 phase setup set bios at 1.4v dropp 1.396v loadline around 1.453v

so its just different but still way better than gigabyte on their implementation of loadline


the latest dfi also seems to be similar to asus loadline.

btw it was like this since bios 080x
also loadline is to have a higher load voltage than idle.. so it is correctly implemented

That wouldn;t be loadline calibration though. It would be negative loadline. I have a VDroop and Loadline mod on my old IC7-G vmodded onto the board via a pot. The first pot calibrates the voltage droop so it matches the BIOS. The second pot calibrates the hysterisis so that it doesn't create negative or postive loadine which is droop or negative droop under load. You can actually set negative loadl into it, but I never did. I was never sure what it would do long term, and the guy that designed the mod wasn;t either, and recomended not trying it.

I'm gonna go back and turn off loadline and see what happens. If it's overshooting that isn't calibrating. Now I have to figure out what the worst of two evils is. I'm still disgusted, becasue I di not want that thing going over 1.45 ever. It was going to be a longevity test. Now all that just went out the window. If it degrades I'll never know if it was caused by the overshoot or not. If it does degrade I'll always blame myself for that one.
