The 12V regulator on the end of your Power Distribution board (not the Wago connectors along the long edges) should be providing a fairly stable 12V. If it isn't that is where I would start, probably by trying another PDB. If it is providing a stable 12V and your 5V is dipping then I would think the problem is likely with the 12V-5V regulator.
