Given that I've already observed different behavior from the system when
the GPU isn't plugged in to power at all, would it still be worth
pursuing this as an angle?

I'd probably have to disconnect and unmount the PSU to get it far enough
out to remove any such thing, which would be doable but still a pain.

It's also a modular unit, so rather than "wires feeding out" of the PSU
itself there are connector ports, but I imagine that wouldn't make much
difference once it was open.
