I picked up a 550w power supply for my computer, but there is no rating
on the PSU for individual rail wattage, only combined. I was wondering
if I'm calculate the wattage correctly, given these system specs:
550w total
+5V @ 45A
+3.3V @ 30A
+12V @ 20A
-5V @ 0.5A
-12V @ 0.8A
+5Vsb @ 2A
=(5*45)+(3*30) gives me 315 watts, which is a big leap over my 350w
supply's 175 watts, but I'm not sure if that's the proper way to
calculate it. The K7S5A FAQ says I should have 185 watts for stability.
Just for reference, it's a Real PC Power SilenceBlue PSU with a three
year warranty, and cost $34 CAD. It has two fans and blue LEDs inside!
