2700 overclocking
You don't have to adjust the load line calibration unless you're aiming for top-tier overclocking. I've mentioned keeping it on auto mode. Altering too many settings during an OC attempt only complicates things. Right now, your focus should be on tweaking the voltage and CPU multiplier, then checking maximum temperatures and stability. The guide you referenced will help you achieve a consistent, reliable, and stable overclock.
Regarding the safe voltage for your CPU, each processor is unique—what suits one might not suit another. Only through testing can you find the optimal voltages, temperatures, and clock speeds.
Great you want to try overclocking. Make sure you learn about what you want to achieve and how to do it properly. Here's a guide. Read, read and read it again. Then do things by the numbers: https://forums. If you are saying you've adjusted LLC, then don't. Leave that on auto. You don't want to touch that for a moderate OC.

The concept of 'safe' is highly debated for Ryzen. Many believe the upper limit lies between 1.4 and 1.45 under light load, but this seems more applicable when the processor isn't working hard. AMD hasn't offered clear guidance since the Ryzen 1000 release, where Robert Halleck mentioned 1.425 as the maximum for long-term use, while 1.45 might affect longevity (Ryzen 3000 built on TSMC 7nm is quite different). Of course, this refers to actual core voltage, and under heavy strain, an overclocked 8-core 2700 would likely overheat without proper cooling. Most average overclockers aim for a core voltage of 1.3 to 1.375 during heavy use, though some are questioning this due to early signs of wear. A stable approach is to keep the voltage low enough to maintain control and manage temperature effectively.
I'm not entirely sure about keeping it in 'auto'—some motherboards consider 'auto' the optimal LLC level. I believe MSI boards tend to handle that, especially my B450m Mortar. A balanced LLC seems to be the right approach. On Tomahawk, a setting of 4 or 5 would work well.
