If you're overlocking turn it on, it will help stabilise the CPU voltage when you put the computer under load preventing what is known as vdroop which could destabilise your OC.

Saying that, vdroop only becomes a problem when pushing for a maximum overclock or when overclocking on lower quality motherboards, so in the case of a good quality motherboard (which you have) some would argue that LLC can be disabled so that vdroop works as designed.

I have had 2 x Crosshair boards in the past and had LLC set to 'FULL' (HIGH) and I currently run 'FULL' on my R2E.

I would suggest reading up on vdroop and how it affects AMD CPU's as I can only really comment from an Intel perspective. I can't imagine it's much different to be honest.

The usual rule of thumb is: if you're overclocking, turn it on, if not turn it off.
