+12V Rail Tests

As mentioned in the How We Test section, we take two measurements for each +12V rail test, one from the cable that has the lowest output (12V1) and one from the cable with the highest output (12V2). Though we measure voltage output for all six load tests, we're only including the 200W, 400W and 700W results in the charts below for ease of comparison. These loads can be considered light, typical and heavy workloads, with the 700W test being the one most likely to highlight instability. Any output that falls outside of Intel's specifications is considered a fail and highlighted in red.
