So today I found some server PSU that has been laying around my house for some time. Decided to use it, but before i decided to plug cables to components i measured 12V voltage on 6/8 pin PCIE cables. So on 12v I measured around 12.6v. Is that too high and is there a risk of killing my GPU ?

And please, someone with real knowledge about this should answer this question.
I dont care about HWmonitor and MSI AB voltages, I just want to know if more than 12v on PCIE cable will kill the GPU.

Thank you!
 
Solution
+12.60 Volts is the maximum allowed by the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide.

+11.40 Volts is the minimum allowed by the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide.

Ripple & Noise should be under 120 milliVolts peak to peak.
