Calibrating voltage stability for ASUS B760M in Plague Tale?
The moment thousands of rats flooded the screen, my CPU voltage plummeted from 1.3V to 1.1V in a single second. It was actually kind of exciting to finally have a reason to mess with the LLC load line. The default power delivery on the ASUS B760M TUF is way too slow to react to transient spikes, triggering low-voltage protection and crashing the game. I tried the 'High Performance' power plan in Windows, but that just pushed VRM temps up by 10℃ without stabilizing the voltage—just a frustrating loop of trial and error. I went into the BIOS, bumped the LLC from Level 3 to Level 5, and added a +0.02V Vcore offset. In Cinebench R23, the voltage ripple dropped from 0.2V to a tight 0.04V, and the crashes stopped entirely. CPU temps spiked by 3℃ initially, but I smoothed that out by tweaking the fan response time. VRM temps are sitting at 75-82℃, and the core is stable at 65-71℃.
