Vdroop control too agressive?

On my MSI p67a-c45, I have my 2500k @ 4.8GHz with vcore set manually to 1.32V, which under load goes as high as 1.368V in cpu-z. I have 2 options in BIOS for vdroop: low vdroop and auto. I have it set to low vdroop, but I think knocking my vcore up 0.06V is pretty wild variation. I'm used to seeing it go lower, but not by that much.

Anyone else had this issue? I don't particularly want to run 1.37V through my chips 24/7, but no matter what vcore I set, that's what it seems to ramp up to.
 
Meh, set vcore to 1.31V and that gets me 4.8GHz stable after 5 LinX runs, which shows 1.35V in cpu-z. I guess that'll do.
