Fluxuating Core Voltage while stress testing CPU

My CPU i7-6700k is set on 4.5ghz, vcore on bios is set on 1.270.

While stresstesting, the core voltage on CPU-Z shows 1.264 and rarely it jumps up for a second to 1.280 and goes back to 1.264. ( I would say that it does that once every 30 second maybe)

My temperature is stable at 68degree.

Is everything okay or is something wrong? Why does the Core Voltage fluxuate like that? is it normal?

Some motherboard account for something called Vdroop. vdroop is where the voltage on the processor drops as it requires more current. Some motherboards have settings for it in the bios where it automatically applies a little more voltage to the cpu when the voltage starts to drop

My motherboard is a Z170-K.

Is it normal though? the fluxuation? anything to worry about?
