Hi PeepingTom, it's somewhat normal for the voltage to fluctuate alittle under stress. One of the first things I do is disable all thermal throttling settings, this board has a several, one called CPU thermal monitor and CPU EIST and could possibly be throttling the voltage when when the cpu heats up, try disabling both features and run your tests again. If the system shows no instability, I wouldn't worry too much about a minor voltage drop. Mike
