When you are using BIOS v2.13 and OC'ing, do you disable C-States? If so, that's most likely your issue. I believe in Intel's latest MC, they disabled the ability to disable C-States. Some board mfgr's removed the setting altogether and some left it there, but disabling it has no impact. I don't know what EVGA did in their BIOS, but ASUS left the setting in place, but it does nothing. If it's not the C-Sates, then with the info you provided so far, I don't know the answer.
I have C-States disabled in my ASUS BIOS right now and yet my CPU clock speeds still drop to a low power state when idle.
