There is no requirement that a Custom Circuit be powered off a 12V PDP output. The rules say a Custom Circuit can have up to a 40A breaker. I could not find a rule that says a Custom Circuit cannot be connected to the VRM.

However, looking at the Spike, it needs at least 9.5 volts, so it will not work switching 5 volts.

So, the custom circuit would need its own custom switch.
