It works exactly how the word sounds. When your cpu goes into work load "lowVdroop" causes the voltage to drop less, and less frequently. What overclockers essentially want is "highVdroop", as we don't want the voltage to drop at all especially during benchmarking. Basically its for stability purposes, I run with mine on "lowVdroop" and have had better success@5.1ghz than on "auto".
