CPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel® specification and affects CPU power voltage. The CPU working voltage decreases proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions. Select from levels 1 to 9 to adjust the CPU power voltage from 0% to 125%.
Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 9]
The actual performance boost may...
