When you set VID in bios, you are actually setting the max the voltage should spike to from high load to low load, not the actual idle or load voltage, this is where many end users get confused.
The main issue is multimeters do not respond fast enough to see these spikes and dips, so end users think they have removed the droop or improved the system when infact they could be causing a lot of damage.

I am off to Taiwan tomorrow, if i get a chance i will talk to a few engineers about this and see if something can be done to reduce the spikes and dips but leave the droop as intended. Remember though this is going beyond what intel designed for and as such is going to cost more to implement on a board...so don't moan if something comes out but costs quite a bit more
Tony, it never happens when at full load or when coming down from full load (so it seems). All I have to be doing is browsing the internet, or going to the bathroom, and after a few minutes, the system crashes, while it is sitting idle.

And if AnandTech is not wrong, I still don't understand why it works on the P5E. Obviously, since hard mods work, there is a way to implement it correctly. And finally, someone said this may be 45-nm quad only, or that quads are more susceptible. This may well be the case.

I still think Asus needs to address this issue. If they got it right on an inferior board, they can get it right on the Rampage Formula.
