Dynamic voltage with OC? - i7 930

Ok, I have an i7 930, when it runs at the stock 2.8GHz speed, it decreases both the multi and the voltage when it is in idle. However, when I then overclock it to 4.2GHz using 1.4V~, enable SpeedStep, C1E and C-State, the only thing that decreases is the multi, the voltage stays fixed at 1.4V. Is this normal? Is there a way to make the voltage drop as well even with an overclock?

I have an ASUS Rampage III Extreme btw.

Thank you.
 
If by disabling vDroop you mean have I enabled Load Line Calibration than yes and no. I have tried with with and without it and it doesn't change.

I have a GiG EX58-UD5 i7 920 at 4.2, both multi + Vcore still drop, even with LLC applied. I take it you have been over your settings in the Bios again, check your manual incase you have missed a setting when your overclocking.

I have checked and rechecked. I am completely confused, checking some other forums and websites, some people are saying changing the BCLK prevents SpeedStep from running properly because it doesn't know what dynamic voltages to apply... Are you sure you haven't got a manual dynamic voltage/vCore offset that you are using?
 
Nah it is as I thought. The only boards that support DVID by the looks of things are the Gigabyte boards. All others loose any dynamic voltage after the you change the BCLK of the CPU.

Thanks for replying :)
