Because my "awesome" P5B-E has a such a "low" Vdroop, and because Asus engineers were too "brilliant" not to allow manual Vcore adjustments with Penryns, it is always at AUTO setting and running at 1.45V in BIOS (1.1 VID + 0.35V) and I can get to 3.85GHz IntelBurnTest stable for 1 hour, and at that screaming load, it runs at only 1.336V (which is an amazing 0.164V Vdroop). Bastard runs at close to 85C in IBT
Result is that 3.85GHz (406x9.5) at 1.336V full load. 1.392V idle. (Edit: Actually it is 1.328V in IBT. The mother of all VDroops :-O)
