Yes it will remain fairly flat.
On Asrocks level 1 maintains whatever you set in bios whatever the load.
Most folks set level 1
Now the other levels should allow various degress of vdroop but they are mostly broken.
When i say broken i mean they are all the same, levels 2 through 5 dont provide varying degress of vdroop they behave the same.
Now i would be happy to be proved wrong and ASrock have actually bothered to fix this LLC issue, but they probably haven't.
Anyhow it's not a biggie, level 1 is what you want and that works as intended.

LINX is not too bad but Prime95 AVX is a right sod
91C at 4.3 gig on my 3770k - LINX is quite a bit cooler (more like 84C)
other than that my mem working fine at 2200 for 16gig - which is pretty
and wall socket looking healthy still - 62W at idle, and only 150W at LINX full load
less than my HTPC
cinebench at these settings is around 8.8

thats vdrop, not vdroop - most have a little vdrop, as per the OCUK overclocking thread:
Vdrop
Vdrop is the difference between the selected voltage in the BIOS and the actual idle voltage, typically this is about 0.05V though new P35 boards seem to be a lot less affected by it. THIS IS NOT Vdroop.
Ah ok. Makes sense now. I thought I had my Voltage a lot higher than it actually was xD when I had my voltage at like 1.2V to try to see if a 4.4Ghz was stable it was actually more like 1.14V or something a lot lower than needed for a stable 4.4Ghz

what a difference a bios update makes, updated my V Gene (was on a pre-release bios ... wasn't even production bios lol - that old) - and running the 3770k on lower volts
4.5 seems ok in Prime with mem at 2200 - quite pleased so far - its probably as hot as expected - but very very fast - and very low power usage

Do you have your HT on or off?

4.6 is do-able but prime-ing in a cold room (window open lol) I get to 96C with my Noctua
I guess in normal usage nowhere near - thats small Prime 95 AVX
thats at 1.285 in bios - idle temps 28C (64W)
as a comparison Cinebench gets to 72C - with a score of 9.21

I can't even get 4.7 stable 
Gone up to 1.33V... anything higher than that and the temps are just too high (95C+)
Looks like 4.6 @ 1.28 is my max o/c... but thanks to the temps, at least it can be a 24/7 OC.

My 3770k is currently at 1.25V just checking how stable it is at 4.5Ghz with this voltage (Im hoping I can lower the volts a bit since some people get 4.5Ghz at about 1.8v but I needed at least 1.2v to get to windows) my temps are sitting at 90 for cores 2 3 and 4 for max and just under 80 for core 1. (taking it core 1 is the more realistic temp with my heatsink being seated badly) hoping this is stable and isn't the kind of temps I can expect after a reseat.
