stay. The purpose of the dual rail is supposedly cleaner power to the chip and MB, which sounds good to me. Additionally, I have read that dual rails split up power between the MB/chip and other devices like PCI cards or hard drives. If one rail starts to...

10A extra that's simply not usable! With a single 12V rail, you can at least have "access" to all of the additional juice. Every little bit helps, right? ;) So why even bother with dual 12V rails? Because a single 12V rail that can actually SUSTAIN it's...

OC'd CPU? It's not unusual for a PSU to have dual (or more) "rails" from a single internal power source (making it actually a single rail). If JonnyGuru says single rail (and he does say that) you have a single rail PSU (and that ISNT a bad thing). Many...

zip ties and tape is for. OK, well, to begin with, dual rail isn't. What "dual rail" is...is a split single rail. That single rail is split by putting some of the wires one one circuit breaker and other wires on another. The result? Each rail gets a lower...

thumb never get a psu with anything less than 30a on the 12v rail if it's a single rail. And if it's a dual rail, do some research to determine if there are limiters on the 12v rail or if the amps are shared across both rails. and dont buy the cheapest psu...

Single vs Dual Rail on 12V. Is there any major differenece between getting a single rail 12V PSU vs. a dual Rail 12V PSU assuming that the bombination of the dual 12V rails is the same as the single rail. Is there a power difference or anything that could...

Dual rail psu. how do you work out a dual rail psu amps?. how do you work out a dual rail psu amps? Just add them together. If you want a good ps, buy one used in anandtech's "for sale" forum. Lots of stuff there. simple as that? I have a q-tec psu 550w dual...

supplies 18A to 6 rails. If a both card requires 29A and a single rail can only supply 18A.... just make sure u dont put them both on one rail. Again... im not sure about rail balancing. To avoid any future problems, i went with a single rail psu. All...

with a single rail allows you to split things differently, so you could have 24A going to the graphics cards and 14A going to the CPU, etc. That said, single rail has that advantage over dual-rails. ...

very good - not top of the line but still very good - and has quite a surplus of power over the requirements of your system. single rail is best. dual rail is ok.. anything more gets sort of redictulous fast. with trying to balance 2 video cards 5 hard drives...
