Quick question, I'm adjusting my LLC settings. On Extreme it raises my CPUV to 1.56. My max for the FX 6350 is 1.55. Does that mean I'm .05 over? Or does it not matter since it only works during stress tests? TIA!

It's high. Consider setting the LLC to medium or auto. Then focus on vcore. Just because you increased speeds doesn't always mean you need more voltage; current can compensate for wattage changes. For a regular OC, you wouldn't aim for 1.375v - 1.4v or higher. Better to keep it lower.

Understanding LLC is essential to grasp the solution. Power delivery has limitations, and when a CPU stops requesting it, the voltage provided by the VRM decreases briefly, causing the CPU to suddenly increase its demand. This sudden change creates a phenomenon known as vdroop, leading to instability if the CPU's needs exceed what the VRM can supply quickly. To address this, LLC provides a preemptive voltage that compensates for the drop, helping the VRM meet the CPU's requirements during the lowest point of the voltage reduction. As an additional boost, it raises the Vcore to a level such as 1.56V under load, which the CPU then receives. Extreme LLC is not necessary for most operations, except in exceptional cases like record-breaking LN2 builds. For typical use, especially on a 6350 processor, aiming for around 1.32V to 1.5V is sufficient, with medium to high settings or two steps lower being acceptable. This ensures enough voltage to maintain stability without risking CPU damage.

I get the idea with vdroop. The 1.56 comes from adding the LLC and 1.3675V, right? So is it correct to say that when you add the base voltage plus the LLC voltage, getting more than 1.55V is good? Just want to avoid any issues.

It's high. Choose the LLC for medium or auto settings. Then focus on vcore. Just because you increased speeds doesn't mean you need too much voltage; current can compensate for wattage changes. For a regular OC, you wouldn't aim for 1.375v - 1.4v or higher. Better to keep it lower.
