i set the vcore to 1.295 in bios but when i check the Speedfan or CPUZ, it says its at 1.280. is it because of vdroop enabled???

No, that's because of what's called voltage drop. Short description, it's caused by the little resistance to the electricity flowing though your board. All motherboards have this, some more than others. It's normal.

my ram is at 1333mhz. dont know if what u say is true.
I have no experience with this myself, but I wanna say I've read here on TPU that sandy bridge CPU's do best with DDR3 1600 RAM or faster. Even if it doesn't affect OCíng(not sure if it does or not), anything less than 1600 RAM causes a bandwith bottleneck between your RAM and CPU.
