The OCP triggering point is set correctly at 12V. It should be lower at high temperatures on the minor rails, 5V and 3.3V. Moreover, the 5VSB rail has OCP set too high, or it doesn’t have any. Over power protection is present, but it should be set lower at high temperatures. Under stressful conditions, the PSU’s protections must generally be tighter.
