Thinking of getting one of these but was wondering what the VDroop is like?
Its noticable but not really a problem, just give it some more beans if it drops too low.
A lot of people are pushing 1.6v on air (I personally won't select over 1.45v in the BIOS yet I am still managing a very nice overclock)
What is Vdroop?

The difference between that CPU voltage you select in the BIOS and the voltage that finally makes it to the CPU.
I particualr need to know what it is like under load i.e what voltage does it use when idling and then when it's under a 100% load.
It's roughly 0.05V vDroop on nearly all core 2 duo motherboards sadly :(. Any voltage that is said will roughly be about 0.05V lower and during load will (depending on motherboard quality) drop about 0.02V lower than the vdroop value. I cannot eb sure on this motherboard but this is a typical value. Hope this helps.
