Hey I recently ordered a Fortron 350W psu for my computer I'm building and some people have commented on it in the forums. They were talking about the 12v rail being only 16a and that was a bad thing. I don't know what the difference is but think it will be ok for this setup?

dunno what all of that info you needed for this, but I plan on OC'ing the barton some probably. If the PSU isn't going to work then I can probably still send it back and get my money back and then buy a diff one, but I'd rather not have to wait if I can use this one. Kinda explain what the 16a means too if you can. Thanks for speedy replies guys, should have my case soon so I'd be testing it out if you can give me info before then that'd be great.

It will work fine. Fortron underrates their supplies, 16A max by their standards should be around 20A peak.

Like I said, it will work fine. I used one on a far more power hungry system than yours.
