Fixing voltage instability on Huntkey Blizzard T600 Snow in Frostpunk 2

This is just ridiculous. Right in the middle of the freezing game atmosphere, my PSU decided to black out and reboot the second my CPU hit a 280W spike. The 12V rail on the Huntkey Blizzard T600 Snow was dipping by 3-5V under extreme load, which is basically a joke for high-end gear. I tried unplugging every single peripheral I had, and while it rebooted less often, it didn't actually fix the root cause—the fragmented troubleshooting was driving me insane. I finally went into the Windows Power Options, capped the minimum processor state at 5%, and disabled C-State deep sleep. Checking HWInfo, the 12V rail fluctuations finally narrowed to within ±0.2V, and the random reboots stopped. I actually tried updating the motherboard BIOS first, but that somehow made the crashing worse until I realized the transient power spikes were triggering the PSU's protection circuit. The PSU fan is humming along at 1100-1300 RPM. I've exported all the error logs from Event Viewer to make sure it's clean.
