It's a liquid/tec combo. coolit lists max usage of the tec's at 56w, pump at 8w, and fan at 8w. Or did you mean the psu? it's in my specs (as is the cooler) 750w, 60a on 12v rail

Ay ola

Yeah, I honestly don't really consider 'em to be "weaker", I just prefer single rails. And btw, I am running a compact tec off my new psu.

Panther just posted that pic she using as desktop in mah photo thread mon.

8. ARE MULTIPLE 12-VOLT RAILS BETTER THAN A SINGLE 12-VOLT RAIL?

With all the hype about multiple 12-volt rails (ads claim that two rails is better than one, five is better than four, etc.), you'd think it was a better design. Unfortunately, it's not!

Here are the facts: A large, single 12-volt rail (without a 240VA limit) can transfer 100% of the 12-volt output from the PSU to the computer, while a multi-rail 12-volt design has distribution losses of up to 30% of the power supply's rating. Those losses occur because power literally gets "trapped" on under-utilized rails. For example, if the 12-volt rail that powers the CPU is rated for 17 amps and the CPU only uses 7A, the remaining 10A is unusable, since it is isolated from the rest of the system.

Since the maximum current from any one 12-volt rail of a multiple-rail PSU is limited to 20 amps (240VA / 12 volts = 20 amps), PCs with high-performance components that draw over 20 amps from the same rail are subject to over-current shutdowns. With power requirements for multiple processors and graphics cards continuing to grow, the multiple-rail design, with its 240VA limit per rail, is basically obsolete.

PC Power and Cooling is once again leading the industry. All of our power supplies now feature a large, single 12-volt rail. The design is favored by major processor and graphics companies, complies with EPS12V specs (the 240VA limit is not a requirement) and is approved by all major safety agencies such as UL and TUV.3

edit: I've heard all this many times before as well, I'm not just going by what they say, it was just easiest to post that since it explains it pretty well.

haha thanks, I've been here, just not a whole lot

Gotta admit that im also as curious as Emokid.

Why do you want to add me to your friends?

Awesome Avatar panchoman.

i haven't been on MSN because i don't got txting anymore and i hate being stuck on a computer and between school,work,gf i don't have much time lol. whats been up

iv eeb great hehe wow sorry about the late reply

I remember him having problems with his mobo last time and he thought it was video.

No MSN access here at work, that's the bad part. But he did post me a visitor's message. That's just harsh about the mobo....

Nah, I haven't talked to him in well over 2 months. Just wondering if you heard anything from him.

Have you talked to Cold Storm lately?

hows it going?
