What is normal Vcore drop under load?

As the subject says, what is normal?

I'm currently experiencing quite a large voltage drop (I think) as measured by CPU-Z. If the Vcore is 1.536V at idle, drop under load places it at 1.488V on average. Is this normal? I'm not getting the overclock I think the chip is able to handle, and I'm starting to think the PSU might be the limiting factor.

I can get a stable OC if I push the Vcore way up into NSDS territory, as it drops to acceptable levels under load.

Please help me out guys - this is very depressing.

:(

Thanks
 
Vcore drop happens under load... most Vcore regulators comprimise load regulation for transient stability, especially after VRM 9.0. Bring the core voltage up a bit to compensate.

This isn't a PSU issue, it's a motherboard issue; the motherboard is responsibe for regulating Vcor, not your PSU.
