My icue software says I'm using 12 a little over 12 volts but nothing else I have the mpg gaming pro carbon x570 and my 12 volt cable is on to four pin and a third but I read I don't need the third and my system is stable as it is I'm wanting to add a second nvme drive to the mobo I already have a mp600 is it OK that I'm pulling that many volts also I have six fans in my case plus the cpu fan I just need to know if I'm pulling to many volts.

Your power supply is supposed to output 12V, 5V and 3.3V to the system. If you have one of Corsair's i series PSUs with digital monitoring (RMi, HXi, AXi) and iCue is reading 12V for the 12V rail then that is correct. It should remain constant at 12V. The voltage should always be the same and the current is what changes depending on load.

You don't pull voltage, you supply voltage and that's what the PSU (Power Supply) is doing, it's not a measure of power consumption.
