im not a complet noob to psu's but that 2x12v rail is new to me, could u explain me how it works? ur saying i need to know where to plug the right stuff at the right place? do u mean i have to know where to plug all thos fancy extras's like that pci-e 12v thingy and that rpm thingy and all that? if so its not a prob, but for that 2x12v i know it use full amps for the mobo on the main 12v rail and the second is for the rest of the hardware, but do i need to plug the right molex at the right place or something like that? thx for the help so far |

Nah, basically it just makes sure that whatever needs the load gets it. One rail is used for CPU, the other are used for devices/cards that require power. There's a main connector to the mainboard, a bunch of molex's, and another long cord that has 'extra' power, so you'd hook that up to devices that require lots of power and it would use the 2nd rail. It's not really 'plug this certain thing here' it's just making sure not to overload one while you have the other available.

great!!! thx for the help, in my current budget i have the choice for this one or the thermaltake silent purepower 560W wich is about 50$ more then the enermax. but seriously im sure enermax will give wat i pay for unlike thermaltake, and this one doesnt even have 2x12v but has 22A instead of 18A wat do u guys recommend? |

EnerMax, hands down. I've actually taken mine apart and seen the boards and components inside. They're impressively durable and well built. I've been around electronics for a good 7 years.
I have the big 660W with four 12v rails. I just wanted to rub that in. ![]()

If your willing to pay for a "noisemaker", then buy a 520 from OCZ. Much more reliable and stable rails I might add. Adjustable rails aswell. Can't go wrong. From the reviews I've read and personal experience with the noisemaker, it isn't that great.
