CODE 12V-2X6-VDROP-BLK Severity: Critical Difficulty: Intermediate

12V-2x6 Rail Voltage Drop

Transient high-current draw induces high contact resistance across the 12V-2x6 (PCIe 5.1 / 12VHPWR) terminal pins, dropping the 12V rail below the PCIe undervoltage threshold (<10.8V). The GPU Power Management IC (PMIC) trips Power Good (PWRGD) protection, terminating display output while system fans ramp to 100%.
