Figure 22: Power supply label

The manufacturer advertises this unit as having two +12 V rails, which is correct, since the monitoring integrated circuit has two +12 V over current channels. The two rails are distributed as follows:

• +12V1 (yellow/black wires): The main motherboard connector, the ATX12V connector, the SATA connectors, and the peripheral connectors
• +12V2 (solid yellow wires): The video card power connectors and the second half of the EPS12V connector

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