CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load‑line is defined by AMD VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working 

voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher value gets a higher voltage 

and better overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal. This 

item allows you to enable or disable the CPU Load‑Line Calibration function.
