Is the maximum Vcore figure cited by Intel for load or at idle?

The on-board motherboard sensors always seem
to report a lower voltage than what is set -- even at
idle.
 
The max they list is the max overall voltage they list as MAX. Max is max ... NM if it's load or idle.

The drop you see is called Vdrop and is a common "problem" on any electronic device. A setting ( often called LLC or load line calibration ) can be used to compensate.

vdrop is de difference of voltage between bios and idle on the window desktop. Vdroop is the difference of voltage between load and idle. llc modify vdroop but doesn't do anything to vdrop.

vdroop is not an anomaly it is a builtin protection there to protect electronic devices.
