Thanks for that, I'm guessing you're right. Too bad. I have 2 of these and they have been very trouble free, but the vdrop+vdroop is killing me. 1.4625 in bios gives me 1.39-1.4 idle and drops to 1.34 at load. I have tried them with different psu's also, no difference. I understand the reason for vdroop, but it's just excessive on these boards.
