Congratulations on this important step! A wild idea...

Firstly well done on this finding. Reducing load on 5V line will yield most SQ improvement. I would guess cutting 12V fan supplies would yield subtle improvements at best. But those nasty video chips run on 5V...

The wild idea is to disable those chips (and other unused stuff) by finding the 5V pins on P24 connector. I started with switching from P24 to P20 removing 4 pins. This leaves us with fewer 5V, 12V & 3.3V lines to mobo. Is there merit in trying to selectively disable remaining 5V pins (5 including standby on P20)? Also, we could do the same on 3.3V pins (3 on P20) and the sole remaining 12V pin.
