Building a vreg circuit with no droop when going from less than 10Amps at idle to instantly more than 100Amps at load requires a lot of components and more expensive parts.
This is particulary true for video cards.
First, sorry for kicking this thread to live again..but this issue has been bugging me for some weeks now

Just did a droopmod on a P5WDH, it involved lowering the resistance on a single resistor from 50K to about 20K. Why could'nt, ASUS in this case, just use at 20K resistor in the first place?

This suggests to me that this is not a cost-issue at all..

btw, droopmod did help my stable OC.
