i OCed my FX4100 to 4.5 ghz. The vcore is at 1.48
but when stress test it drops to 1.46 ?
None the less it IS stable at this. im just wondering if its a big deal or not

It being stable and all other indicators being "good", that should be answer enough. :)

I would chalk up a .02v delta being a BIOS discrepancy and/or a software interpretation discrepancy.

If problems do arise, PSU could be a culprit - is it large enough? And hopefully it's not named something like Sparko-matic. :)

i think i would have to agree that my PSU could be the culprit. seeing hows its a diablo tek da-series 600 watt. also it was dirt cheap only 30 dollars. ill be replaceing it very soon
 
Vdroop is not caused by the power supply. It is caused by the CPU power regulator on the motherboard.

Vdroop of .02 - .03 volts is nothing to worry about.

Your Diablotek PSU, however, was built by Sparko-matic. You should replace as quickly as possible.
