Fixing power instability on Huntkey T600 in RE9

My PC literally black-screened and rebooted right at the loading screen, which felt like a joke given the rated wattage of this PSU. The Huntkey Blizzard T600 struggled with transient power spikes, and the 12V rail showed abnormal ripple between 60-80mV, which tripped the motherboard's over-current protection. I tried the 'Ultimate Performance' power plan in Windows; it helped the boot success rate slightly, but idle power draw jumped by 20W, which was just ridiculous. I ended up swapping the stock modular cables for shielded custom ones and manually switched the motherboard power phase from 'Auto' to 'Enhanced' mode. The hardware monitor showed the voltage fluctuation shrink from 11.7-12.3V to a very tight 12.0-12.1V range. I actually messed up the 8-pin connector placement during the first swap and couldn't boot at all until I double-checked the pins. The PSU load temp is now sitting between 45-52°C. I exported all the voltage spike timestamps using a performance analyzer to confirm the fix. Power data exported successfully, and voltage is holding at 12.0-12.1V.
