18A x 4 = 72A le... and do keep in mind, multi-rail design isn't exactly total combined rail, minus ±2~4 unlike single rail, there's no ± and single rail always better than multi-rail design...

unfortunately bro sniper it doesnt work that way..
instead this rating is what u should look for, dont be fooled by the 18Ax4 rails
wah if odin pro 550w really has 72A on 12v rail then it can already exceed 1000w psu lar



see what i circled?? that's the total 12v current for the odin pro 550w..
actually the 4 rails are derived from a single 41A 12v rail..

wahh.....
nice ratings, how much it cost??

i know la.....my Q is which one more OK, coz got PSU provide just one powerful single rail like PC Power & Cooling (+12VDC @ 60A)

and Tagan like this one offer powerful quad rails, so i wonder which one more OK...hehe

, you got the point there...

in that case yes, but for those multi-rail design - the total likely total combined ...

perhaps me myself outdated, , it is work that way - used to be but depending on how many actually rail/s on , like some other PSU got 2x giant rail distributing to multi-rail and some gigantic single rail - the one and only... and this is the best design... not saying this brand bad, this brand sucks... but i'm just saying about the rail design... gosh... i'm single rail freak le...

hello guys
i'm asking on behalf of my friend

@arafat
i think it's your PSU, kindly ask your friend unplug all unnecessary device such as ROMs, extra HDDs if any, FDDs, downclock if overclock see if any change

what gc is this and what psu are you using? some gcs have certain spec requirements, and though its bare minimum, it can be misleading at times.

how about the minimum requirement for the gt?
does his psu pass?
tried that method already. not sure what psu he's using but not 'cikai' one la

at the GC it puts min requirement is 400watt psu n 26amps at +12volt rail..

his psu is 480watt real power and the rail shows +12V1=16A and 12V2=15A....

how to power up an 8800gt with a psu which gives rails at 16A and 15A respectively i dont see logic. firstly 26A (minimum) goes out from 31A(nominal). that explains it doesnt it? Get a more powerful psu that gives u at least 36A total on 12V.

i think it's your PSU, seriously... 480W, CoolerMaster Real Power (right?), and the rail isn't good enough... 16A + 15A isn't exactly 31A, it could be even lower than that... or worse... 20A

oic..so the 26a should be the total value & he should getting psu that is at least 36a right?

i just curious because before this the psu can powered up 1950 just fine.
so can you guys recommend any psu that is cheap. power consumption just around 350w only.

Enhance ENP5150GH @ Silverstone St56F, both shud be 550w, and same OEM


Chow

one simple Q here....

Gigabyte Odin Pro 550w vs ST56F...

hoho..not that simple..let expert answer it...im using odin pro 550 and my fren use st56f..so far both got no problems,and both is freaking stable..
odin is modular,while silverstone not..

performance wise??

as far as im concern..both is more than 80% efficiency

if u at my place, which one will u pick???

depends un or hardware and interest..from look.odin looks more handsome..and more arrangeable,coz its modular..
i think both performance is on par..up to u..mybe u shud see both psu first, and ask some of the xpert in here

but none of them are giving opinion here...
kinda love both but i want to know their performance oni..
