    Maximus Formula SE Vdroop

    I have the Maximus Formula SE and it is drooping about .1v under load. I mean I set it to 1.55 bios and cpuz shows 1.45 while Priming. I know there is a pencil mod and am planning on doing it, but wasn't the 0505 bios supposed to fix this? I updated to that bios before doing anything to that board and I still have pretty large droop (in my opinion). Also, I have seen that other boards have a bios setting to try and stop the vdroop, I don't see one for the Maximus though, am just overlooking it?
