Voltage Questions

I have a 2500K clocked to 4.5GHz with 1.3v set in the BIOS. At idle, CPU-Z measures the voltage at 1.272 volts and under full load, it bottoms out at 1.2 volts. Now, if I understand this correctly, the 1.272 volts is the vdrop and 1.2 volts is the vdroop. How accurate is CPU-Z's voltage reading though? Is a vdroop that large normal? The system is completely stable, never crashed and is able to pass 50 IBT loops.
 
That is a much higher VDroop than normal, but its possible its being reported wrongly. Try using your motherboards program for reading it and confirm its doing the same thing. But honestly if its stable who cares?!

I'm just curious if my chip would hit 4.5GHz at a lower voltage on a better motherboard.
