radodrill Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 So with my GameXStream 700:12V[1-4]: 18A ea 3.3V: 36A 5V: 30A P_system = (12V * 18A) * 4 + 3.3V * 36A + 5V * 30A = 1132W P_mains = 1132W / 80% = 1416W Whats wrong with this picture? Take a look at the spec chart for the GXS 700W: Each 12V rail is rated for a maximum of 18A or 216W; however, the total combined load on all the 12V rails and the +3V and +5V rails cannot exceed 680W. In other words, the power supply can provide up to 18A on each 12V rail, but is not capable of providing a full 18A load on all 12V rails simultaneously.

Jachyra007 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Well that makes sense Rado...I never looked at it as a Max wattage produced Like Branjo said, I was future proofing the system. Glad to know that I have that much overhead left! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Glad it makes sense now The number's I used in this example were illustrative of actual load and are well within spec for my PSU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praz Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah and for max output it requires two power cords and a dedicated 20A outlet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branjo Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Wow now thats overkill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHKCommander959 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 exactly. i like the second comment. crazy nerds :angel: I dont get it though... how do two power cords help if they're both going to the same outlet:confused: especially with ac power....:confused: it could be useful if... you went for the skulltrail and did mad oc's and decided to use alot of pelts or something maybe . or used one of those mountain mod dual-computer cases and had dual skulltrails. or just wanted to find a way to kill the power bill:tooth: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I dont get it though... how do two power cords help if they're both going to the same outlet:confused: especially with ac power....:confused: One power cord would have required a 20A plug which will not plug in a 15A rated outlet that's commonly used in homes here in the States.

RHKCommander959 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 ah. i get it now :angel: thanks. not just that, but look at the non-standard monstrous size :tooth:. you have the huge box sitting outside, then it plugs into a cord divider that goes in the psu slot...

Praz Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 That might be a good thing. There is no way the necessary components needed to deliver clean power at that wattage would fit in an enclosure capable of being installed inside the case.
