Binge you and Fits need to read how this guy overclocks his DFI board he leaves
Hey trt if you disable "Vcore Droop Control:.............Enabled" then you won't have voltage droop.
That is if that's what you want.
All the speed step thermal function and power saving functions are on and the core voltage is on auto, then he adds voltage to the core through the CPU VID Special Add setting. Read it's crazy and works.

he claims by letting the chip manage it's self makes it overclocks better.
