So I'm getting crazy vdroop with this board, I'm running @ 4.5GHz and its going from the 1.39v I set in the bios down to 1.34v when running prime95. To get 4.8GHz stable i have to set it at 1.42v but that plummets down to 1.37-8v under load, just wondering if you guys have any idea if it's possible to minimize this some how?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

LLC is enabled, right?
That's normal vdroop with LLC1 enabled.
Set the voltage to 1.25v in BIOS at 3.4 ghz, and then notice the vdroop. It will probably be around 1.225v. Am I right?
The higher the vcore on the cpu, the higher the delta between the BIOS setting and the idle setting. Virtually every board works like this (because vdroop is basically a percent drop, so the higher the voltage, the higher the %. that's quite logical). The delta between idle and load vcore should remain about the same, though.
You're never going to find a board at that price point that gives you perfect vdroop at all voltages. You have to spend more for more options. A board that gave you perfect vdroop at, let's say, 1.5v (no change bios to idle) would wind up overvolting at other voltages.

Yes it's fine. There are people doing much worse with voltages than you are.
Just try to just use the computer normally, instead of joining a "let's see how far we can degrade our cpu's by running prime/linX for 12 hours" club repeatedly...
