CPUZ shows Vcore decreasing under load.

Not normal I assume?
It's going from 1.31~ down to 1.264~
Thats when running Intel Burn Test 2.2.
BIOS says something like 1.334 volts.

Thats normal, its called vdroop or something, all boards do it to some degree or another.

Yeah I get that too

I think it's part of the spec for running the CPU, certainly Intel CPUs so the mobo manufacturers build this into the mobo.

Ahh I didnt realise Vdroop could happen in real-time.
I've got load-line calibration on too.
I'm still desperatly trying to get stable, should I adjust volts for load?
