Voltage drops, whats causing them?

Im running a venice 3500+ at a vcore of 1.475, and an oc of 2705 mhz. Cpuz and other programs that monitor voltage show my vcore switches from 1.5 to 1.47 randomly. Its ok though, but when I oc higher, to 2750 lets say, it needs the full vcore I give to function properly. I say this because when I am running prime 95 at 2.6 ghz and at 1.45 vcore, it drops to 1.44 sometimes (isnt enough) and my computer freezes up. When I up my vcore to 1.4625 howver, it is stable because even though it drops 1.45, it doesnt go lower and prime 95 is stable. This also isn't good going up either. Lets say my vcore is 1.6, I would absolutely not want anything higher than this, however it can get to 1.615. Just wondering what is causing this, and if it is the PSU is it fixable?
 
I'm pretty sure that sounds like the vcore "drooping" to me. There is a volt mod fix that prevents the vcore from changing called the droop mod. Not sure if it can be done on your motherboard, but that is what it sounds like to me
