worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 May 27, 2009 #12 40 amps = 40 amps, no matter how many 12V rails you have. If you have multiple rails, you simply add the amps up. Click to expand... Not really. Each rail can supply a maximum of 20A, but the total amperage of both the rails will be inferior to 40A.

Manufacters like Antec, Corsair, Cooler Master, and OCZ tend to be more honest about their figures because they've got a reputation to hold up.
