Enermax came out a very Powerful PSU, called Infinitity. For thouse power hungry, u must look for this. Great featues powered with 3 x 12V, provide stable power to all the PC components . Highly recommended

Why need 3 12V ? What so good or special about 3 x 12V? Anybody can tell?

^ nothing special really.

but if you're still curious, I'd suggest reading the threads in johnnyGuru's forums

eh... TS... can u give better posting than a single line?

i was hoping for more information when i saw this thread on the thread listing.. and what i can see is 1 line of sentence

yup
start ur topic with more informatic will helpful
i dun think anything special there wif 3 12V rails
but i'm more interested how strong each of those rails

The unique of these 3 x 12V rails is to provide stable power to the devices. Special dedidated to the device to supply clea and stable power

12V1= For GPU + Drivers
12V2 = CPU + GPU
12V for GPU

A greate combination "DUAL QUAD TRIPLE"

Dual CPU, Quad Core Triple Graphics

and for your information, a single rail PSU is much more better than multi rail PSU

3x12v only? my psu is qual rail. even better its epsilon by the way...

@TS, i did some "research" and read some, and from what i'm understand that, Enermax claimed this PSU is on 3 separated rails, unlike normal multi-rail PSU is originally distributed from large single rail to multi-rail - please correct me if i'm wrong on this...

i think u're right....all my rail shared and current also shared...

owh.. so it means that my epsilon has a shared quad 12v+ rails?

FYI, most of multi-rail is actually distributed from one large rail to multi-rail...

There's probably no reason to buy it if your pc won't produce the amount of power it supports.

this been kinda hot topic, how much watts my system really need? IMO, if you can get higher watter, why not you get the high watter, it's not like it will maxed out your electricity bills, in fact, the more efficient PSU (most of higher efficient PSU start from >500W), the better, since capalang/not efficient PSU (50%~60%) vs 80% efficient PSU

there's a lot we can get from high wattage, for example, more headroom if you indeed in pure kaw² overclocking, lots of high-performance pc hardware (RAID-ed Raptor , Quad SLI 8800GTX (maybe ), some exotic cooling solution maybe... so a 1kW PSU is not a waste

That's called independant regulation, where the 3.3, 5 and 12 volt lines have independent voltage regulation circuitry instead of using a pretty much global feedback system.

lol? 3 X 12V = special ?

My enermyx 4 X 12V + modular wo ~ then is very very very special lo!!??!?!

I have an INFINITI 620watts.

It has only one transformer. Shared by three "virtual" 12v rails. So it's not really multirails.

According to the label (enermax is usually pretty reliable on the spec department, but dont trust everything 100%):

28amps for 12v1 and 12v2, 30amps for 12v3.

total 12v amps = 52amps

It has OCP, whether all the 12v rails share a unified OCP of 52amps, is yet to be reveiled, enermax wont talk.

But IT CAN RUN dual 8800GTX SLI. It has been tested by many users.

hmmm....

giv u more rails oso no use if it has low amperes rite....

but s 4 Enermax..they came out pretty strong with their +12V rails rating all d time... Infiniti is 1 of it ( 28A,28A,30A)

Added on April 16, 2007, 12:15 pmhey,..there'e no 620W in Infiniti range btw...
onli 650W & 720W....

If Liberty then there's 400W, 500W, AND 620W

Added on April 16, 2007, 12:21 pmInfiniti oso has/supports next Gen graphics...with PCIe 2.0
comes in a (6+2)pins connector

not 2 forget: CoolGuard (which is a pretty cool features to prolong our system lifespan up to 20%) & PowerGuard (with LED & Buzzer indicator)

yup,inifnity with the guard will spin ur fan for 3 minutes until ur system is fully cold down,
btw,IMO,single power rail is always better than multi rail unless the rail in the multirail is independent....
Enermax is great!!!
