The 12V rail’s over current protection triggering points are conservatively set, and the same goes for the over-power protection’s triggering points. The only issue here is that the triggering points are higher under hot conditions than cold temperatures, while normally, it should be the other way around. Moreover, the OCP triggering points are set sky-high on the minor rails. There is no need for such a high amperage, especially at 3.3V. To make matters worse, the OCP triggering points on the minor rails at cold and hot conditions are pretty close.
