CPU Load-line Calibration
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM spec and
affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage
will decrease proportionally to CPU loading.
Higher load-line calibration could get higher
voltage and good overclocking performance but
increase the CPU and VRM thermal.
Regular: 0%
Medium: 25%
High: 50%
Ultra: 75%
Extreme: 100%
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
