I'm just wondering why the vcore goes higher when the system is idling? When I run Prime95 in cpuz it shows that my vcore is 1.368 , but when my cpu is idle, it's using 1.392 vcore. I have C1E enabled. Thanks.
 
vdroop is fairly typical in varying degrees. Some boards are much worse than others. Sometimes it's a power supply thing as well....

But to the OP, in your case, that's almost normal and you can adjust for it when overclocking by setting the vcore to a value that will get you the proper load voltage....
