Fixing Huntkey Blizzard T600 voltage instability in Horizon Online?

Every time I entered a crowded city, the game would hitch at about 80% loading, which was incredibly frustrating. Checking the telemetry, I saw the Huntkey T600's 12V rail dropping by 0.5V under peak load, starving the GPU and forcing a quick frequency dip. I tried lowering shadow quality, which gave me a measly 5fps boost but didn't stop the hitching—it was clearly a power delivery issue. I switched my Windows power plan to 'Ultimate Performance' and replaced the stock 8-pin GPU cables with higher-gauge ones to kill the resistance. Voltage ripple dropped from 0.5V to 0.1V, and frame times stabilized from a messy 22-40ms to a clean 16-20ms. I actually plugged the new cables in backward the first time and couldn't boot, which was a real 'facepalm' moment. Now the PSU fan sits around 1000RPM and RAM temps are steady at 58°C - 63°C. It's rock solid now.
