    The guide is a gem, but I have a question about Vcc offset/manual and Load Line Calibration.
    As I understand, LLC increases the voltage with load to compensate for Vdroop. Vcc offset also increases the load voltage and you can add to the additon that the 'Auto' setting gives.
    What I am wondering now is; what is the difference then between LLC and Vcc offset?? They seem to do exactly the same don't they?

    Let me clarify what I am trying to accomplish:

    I had the Vcc offset in the BIOS set to 'auto' and LLC to 'high'. That gave me a standard voltage of 1.448v in AIDA64 and it ran smooth at 4.8GHz.
    Fiddling with the Asus AI Suite settings in Windows I could drop it to 1.432v and it ran perfectly stable, but now I needed to set it permanently in the BIOS somehow so I would not have to adjust the voltage with every reboot.

    Setting that exact Vcc voltage in 'manual' in the BIOS kept it from downvolting and I do like it to idle at 0.96v over 1.43v, so I needed to use the offset.
    (ok, call me a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: overclocker then, I want what I want when I want it because I want it )
    Now, I can either get that 1.432v Vcc using the Vcc offset only with LLC to Auto or the lowest setting, or I can set the LLC to Medium which already gives me 1.400v and then add the rest with Vcc offset.

    What to do and why? Is there any difference in stability using either or both settings?
