PSU for new GPU

[joshd]

it will be there. find the deatiled specification of it.

i am pretty sure you can just add the rail amperages together.

 

[aaronkupen]

So you can add them together? What is the use of dual rails anyway if you can't add them together?

 

[john3]

the ampage for the OCZ POwerStream 520Watt is 33 amps for both.

Can't go wrong with either an Antec or OCZ, then again PC Power and Cooling pwns all but who has the money??


aaronkupen: The use of dual 12V rails is that Usally one Rail is Dedicated to the CPU, or the 4 Pin molex connector, the other Rail is for everything else. Therefore Its more stable then a single 12V rail since the CPU has a dedicated one. I am not sure every manufacture does it that way though, Most do however.

 

[aaronkupen]

Can you show me a link with that information?

I also recived my information from another Forum, a member who only posts relating to Power and power supplies, I believe him to be a very reliable source.

GO WITH THE OCZ i suggested, each rail has almost double of that of the Antec.

I will, thank you for all the help guys. So in essence, you do add up both the amps on the dual 12 volt rails to determine your total ampage. Thanks again.

No, problem, spread the knowledge!
