12V Results
To push the power supply to the limit we had to pull almost 600W out of the 12V rail which is impossible to achieve with only one cable/connector attached. The single cable would have most likely melted if we had done so. In order to avoid destroying the cables we used various kinds of connectors such as ATX, 4-pin Molex, and several 6-pin PEG connectors.
12V at room temperature
At all temperatures the 12V rail held stable over an optimal range. With increasing heat and load it went only 0.2V under 12V which will not cause any problems whatsoever. The 12V rail(s) is often the most critical aspect of a power supply, so it's good to see better results here than what we saw with the lower voltage rails.

Thanks, was of course wrong. I changed it now.
