Why do I have trouble changing the loadline settings on my Gigabyte board?
Why do I have trouble changing the loadline settings on my Gigabyte board?
Hey guys, I've been trying to make my CPU run faster (overclock it). After figuring this out, I might actually need to fix something called loadline calibration. But when I try to change that in the Gigabyte BIOS menu, nothing happens. Just hitting enter doesn't do anything; it keeps me stuck on auto mode. Could you please help me out?

I have never heard that memory needs LLC support. It feels completely unrelated to voltage. I think voltages should only be between the CPU and the motherboard. Are there any other voltages set to auto? One of them might stop me from changing LLC settings. The manual just says what LLC is, nothing else. Maybe one day they'll draw a logic diagram. I remember trying this on an ASUS board for hours until the chip worked, only to realize I had to change one setting to extreme. On my Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 5, when I first upgraded the CPU, it was very close to what I ended up with in terms of settings. LLC was available.
If you can't fix a setting by changing another one, it likely means you need to adjust something else first. Probably turning the auto power off on your CPU cores isn't ready yet because I don't have access to my Gigabyte boards right now, so I can't check if that's what's happening. But it sounds pretty much the same thing as before. Usually, changing LLC helps keep things stable. Just remember this will make voltages higher than they should be when the CPU is working hard or going through a big load.
The only thing I've tweaked so far is the CPU Clock ratio. My memory sticks are set to profile 1, but they're running at a very low speed (3000 mHz), which limits my performance. Even though I'm getting 4.4 GHz on my 6700k, that's not high enough for me yet.
I tried raising the CPU vcore (voltage) to get more power, but it didn't work as expected. Since I can't enable loadline calibration right now, I don't know how much voltage is safe or if there are spikes in different loads. Maybe setting everything back to default would help? I'm still stuck, because loadline calibration is set to auto and won't let me turn it off.
I have never heard of memory needing LLC support before. That sounds totally different from what you would think. Shouldn't that just happen between the CPU and the motherboard? I wonder which other voltages in the whole system are set to auto mode? One of them might be stopping me from changing LLC settings easily. The manual is usually very basic, not listing all the tricky stuff. On some days, the guys will make a logic diagram explaining it all clearly enough that you don't have to guess anymore. I remember trying really hard for hours just once when I had an ASUS board and couldn't get the chip working for overclocking, but then changing one setting made it work immediately. On my Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 5, after upgrading the CPU, the settings were actually pretty close to what I ended up with in terms of performance. LLC was available here at that point too, so I set it to the second highest level. I usually stick to fixed voltages, but this time I wanted to try changing speedstep and power saving features on my new build. It's going okay so far.
I have never heard that memory needs LLC support. I thought those voltages were totally unrelated. Usually, it only happens between the CPU and the motherboard, right? But what about other voltages in my system being set to auto? Maybe one of them is blocking the change of LLC settings. You know how the manual just says basic stuff for LLC without explaining more. One day the guys will draw a logic diagram. I used to spend hours struggling with an ASUS board just to get that chip overclocked, and all it took was changing one setting to extreme. On my Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 5, I first tried upgrading the CPU, which ended up being very close to what I wanted. LLC was available then, so I set it to the second highest level. Usually, I use fixed voltages, but today I want to try speedstep and power saving on this build. It seems to be going okay for now. Here are some screenshots showing each setting. There seem to be some autos in there... any ideas?
i am having trouble with my MSI 990 FXA GD65 board. I cannot find the load line calibration option, and when I lower the voltage to 1.35 under load, it shuts down everything else. There is another issue where i can't change some voltages off automatic because i don't know what numbers to put in manually, and there are no defaults if someone fixes this that would be appreciated, please
I never heard anyone say memory needs LLC support. That sounds like a weird thing to need between CPU and motherboard only. How many other settings in the system are set to auto? Maybe one of them is stopping you from changing LLC. The manual usually just explains what LLC is without giving detailed instructions. One day these guys will make a logic diagram instead. I remember spending hours trying to get my ASUS chip working on overclocking, and all it took was changing one setting to extreme. On my Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 5, after I tried upgrading the CPU, I ended up with similar settings as what I got originally. LLC could be changed at that point too. Usually, I just use fixed voltages, but on this build, I wanted to try speedstep and power saving. It is going well so far. Here are some screenshots showing all those settings. There seem to be some autos here... any thoughts? About the only difference I see is that your CPU upgrade is set to auto. Worth a shot if nothing else works for you. They put a lot of effort into it. Had to just bump voltage and LLC up a little bit just to get 100% stability from their settings. As I remember, they have a stock setting for each K SKU. But when I updated the BIOS on the other hand, I had to do it manually almost exactly like that. Pretty sure the voltages were actually being misreported with that first BIOS update.
Hey everyone! I've been trying to make my CPU run faster, but I don't know how yet. After looking around, maybe I need to fix something about the loadline settings in my Gigabyte BIOS screen. But when I try that button, pressing it does nothing and keeps me stuck on "Auto." Can someone please help? Here are all the links for the items I used: Motherboard link here, Cooler link here, CPU link here, RAM link here, Hard drive link here, Monitor link here, GPU link here, PC case link here, PSU link here.
To change anything, you have to type in "High" or "Turbo," but if you just press H or T, it won't work right now. I also saw a picture from another guide on Joomag that confused me too.
