Which is the real voltage reading?

Right boulard!
Difference in bios setting to actual idle voltage = Vdrop.
Difference in idle to load voltage = Vdroop controlled by some mobos with an option called LLC (like Boulard said).
I would trust w/e CPUz says if you dont have a DMM handy to confirm.

yes i know vdrop and vdroop causing this.
but i'm not sure which one i should trust when overclocking...
which one is the real voltage that cpu is getting ..
and another silly question,
idle voltage is higher than load voltage so at idle does the cpu wear out faster than load ?

Like I just said, I would trust CPUz's readings as its the only thing you have in windows really.
To answer your other question, simply no. The difference in voltages are so low you will have undoubtedly upgraded by the time it made a difference. Hell by the time .1v would make a difference you would have upgraded none the less .05 or so.

The voltage at idle may be higher, but the current is WAY lower.
