LLC is added voltage. When a cpu demands more voltage for its instant higher loading, there's a split second delay before the VRM's can supply it. What LLC does is add a certain amount of voltage to the cpu so when the cpu does demand, that drop is covered and keeps the cpu from low voltage crashing.
But being an added voltage to the cpu can cause issues when set too high, because you or cpu automatically reduce voltages more, which lowers actual core voltage use and creates instability.
LLC should be mid or mid-high at best (can be 4 or 3, 3 or 4 depending on whether it's up or down LLC). 5/6 (1/2) is usually reserved for extreme overclocking using LN2 or other record breaking type OC/cooling.
Long/short duration means you've...

Be mindful of the 'enhanced' turbo settings. Many boards tend to push the CPU to extremely high frequencies, such as 5.0GHz. I question your stability during stress tests at 5GHz with just 1.25v.
Also, watch out for loadline calibration—it can significantly boost CPU usage if not managed properly.
What cooler are you using? How do your temperatures look after 15 minutes of Prime95 run (AVX disabled)?

Long/short duration means you've effectively disabled PL1 and Tau, so power limits will be maximum boost and stay there.
You've effectively locked all cores at high turbo speeds, then applied speedstep to dynamically lower boosts at low/idle loads. With a fixed voltage, that can create instability as idle uses a higher vcore than loads.
