I assume these regulators are linear (since they are very inefficient), and cooling would increase a volt (tops). I had an experience with linear regulators recently and noticed that with increased cooling they were more stable.

May be increased cooling of these regulators on Mobo improve performance?
I do not know the specs of these regulators. I think that should be the first step. In any case, the stock forced induction cooling used to keep them cool.

No, I am not experienced with this stuff. But I do know someone who is and is willing to help.
Just checking, the fines can be very steep.
