Athena Power AP-MFATX35 350 W Power Supply Review

Power Distribution

In Figure 17, you can see the power supply label containing all the power specs.

Figure 17: Power supply label

This power supply is sold as having two +12 V rails, which is correct, since this unit has two +12 V over current protection circuits (see previous page), and we could clearly see two “shunts” (current sensors). See Figure 18. Click here to understand more about this subject.

Figure 18: Shunts

The two +12 V rails are distributed like this:

• +12V1: All cables but the ATX12V
• +12V2: The ATX12V connectors

This distribution is adequate.

How much power can this unit really deliver? Let’s find out.
