lol i worded it wrong... i meant to ask whether it is worth MODDING. So, i am a total noob when it comes to modding mobos... any suggestions or must it be tailored to my specific motherboard?

EDIT: Also, is it normal for the voltage to drop during stressing?

Yes, you and I have the exact same motherboard, and really that droop isn't all that terrible. It is ~.06 though so I'd look into modding it. I followed these instructions, and now when I've set 1.425v in the BIOS, my idle is 1.416v in CPU-Z (v1.41, I'd upgrade if I were you), and the load is 1.424v.
