Ok so I had some minor issues (or just plain issues) with my last P5N-e SLI board and got a new one.
the 1st one didn't have a crazy vdroop like I'd read around the forums bu after some testing the new one did -- I looking at about .04v of vdroop
I'd set it to 1.36 in bios and it'd read out 1.355 in cpu-z under idle
under load full at that setting it would dip down to 1.32v
--------------------
I did a pencil mod to the board and decided to see what i got from it

used a #2 HB pencil across the pointed out part
this is an image of the mod I did -- i def didn't come up with that idea but another guy i know told me he did it and how it worked well
after the mod I set the vcore to 1.281 and I get 1.312v under cpu-z
*and it doesn't budge* under full orthos stress as I sit here typing this and I've been running orthos for about 45 minutes now
needless to say i'm very happy to my results and as always YMMV but this could help someone having similar issues that I did
