I've had my FX-8320 overclocked at 4GHz for a while now, but I recently noticed that it never hits the vcore voltage I set it to (1.3875v). When idle it hits around 1.37 at max, but when under load it goes even lower. I don't know why.

Solution
That's called vdroop. You can use LLC settings in BIOS to eliminate that. But if you're not experiencing any bad side effects from it, better to leave as is.
