Actual amps required for an 8800GTX on PCI-e connectors?

I tried asking this in the gpu forum, but got no responses...

Does anyone know what the idle/load draw is on the dual PCI-e connectors (either separate or combined... I don't care) for an 8800GTX?

The maximum the PCIe spec allows to be delivered by a 6-pin PCIe connector is 75W per. So that's 6.25A each. You have two, so that's 12.50A. Odds are, you're not going to draw anywhere near that.

Thanks man!
