1.325 VCore in BIOS 0303 is 1.30V in PC Probe II. The E6850 does 3600 MHz stable at 1.325 BIOS VCore with 400FSB x 9 though -- G.Skill 2 x 2G at 1066 MHz. Not bad. Why is some VDroop necessary in the design of these boards?
What you're saying isn't really what you'd call VDroop. It's a simple difference in voltage readings from the BIOS vs. reality.

VDroop is when your CPU is being supplied with a certain voltage during idle and then "droops" under load, causing lock ups and instability issues during heavy use (Orthos / gaming etc.) Almost no board out there properly reports actual VCore correctly-that's no biggie.

What the mod does is stabilize the voltage and keep it the same during idle and load.
