Shakmods 24 pin extender voltage issues.

So as the title says, I have one of there 24 pin extenders. Been using it about 6 months and only noticed last week after having random shutdowns during gaming and even on YouTube. Found out that hwinfo was reporting +12v rail as 11-11.3v only when gpu was under load. if cpu was under load it would drop from 11.8v to 11.6v. I decided to disconnect the 24 pin and test with a DMM and got 11.8v at idle then tested it via a 4 pin Molex while system was under load and got the same results that hwinfo was giving me. Impressed with hwinfo +12v accuracy.
So I disconnected the 24 pin extender and suddenly my +12v was getting 12.05v idle and 11.7v load. Is it possible for a high-end 24 pin extender to cause such a drop in voltage that caused my system to shutdown, guessing due to low +12v?
