Vcore offset question

My i7 2600k sits at 1.304 when idling and when I run p95 it drops as low as 1.264.

Why is it using less vcore under load and how can I set the offset to drop to use only what required for the task at hand ?

I understand offset is where I need to be, but I don't understand how allow it to drop down when the extra power isn't needed.

Can I set a max allowed voltage ? I noticed it has the potential to go higher than I would like at times.

I DON'T SEE AN ADAPTIVE OPTION IN MY BIOS ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro

Thanks

OK, So I just found about about "Vdroop" Do I need to worry about my cpu not getting enough power because of this ? I don't understand how you are suppose to find the correct offset when the "Vdroop' drops like that.
Seem like a pretty big variable.
