Is it me or does vdroop enabled not work? i drop from 1.41 to 1.36 when i load up.
It's actually working fine as Intel wanted it to work. That option gives the processor an 'escape valve' under load, causing the vcore to drop naturally. Vdroop Explained.

That option should always be on on a decent OC. Your quest for stability will start with that option disabled, when 24/7 settings reached you should turn that option ON and bump vcore up a little until you regain stability.

I can Windows/SuperPi/Browse etc with 485x9 on my DFI X48 but I wanted more after seeing 500x9 on Gigabyte's 1/4 of the price cheap value mobo.

I'm hoping you'll get there with the P45! Once you get used to the BIOS it will be easier.

Right now my 24/7 settings are Q9650_4234Mhz_470x9_1.32vcore on the DM_1177MhzDDR2.
