5080 FE: Low 16-pin input Voltage only when the card is cold

5080 FE, 16-pin input voltage sensor is reporting low voltage only when the card is cold even on low power consumption (idling on desktop @ ~27w)

~35C 11.89v / ~45C 11.97v

The higher the temperature, the smaller the difference between 16-pin and PCIe input voltage.

As the card warms up, the voltage increases proportionally with the temperature, reaching up to 12.0V.
Voltage measured right on the 16-pin plug using a fluke tool is very stable at >12.01v no matter the load.

I have already replaced the cables - no difference.

My question to @Martin is, are these values read directly from the GPU power monitoring IC or somehow calculated based on some other values?

If they're coming directly from the GPU as-is then it's probably a bad (uncalibrated?) sensor.

HWINFO screenshot showing the difference. (It's worse if the temperature is lower than 30C to ~11.75v which makes no sense)

Quick video showing the voltage dropping as the card cooling down by manually enabling the fans.
