Tagan TG1100-U33 vs AMD X4 965 any good?

Hello,

hope someone more knowledgable than myself can provide some input and assist me in resolving some issues I am having.

The PC in my signature is being powered by a TG1100-U33 1100W PSU

I am wondering if the reboots that I am getting underload is because of the PSU.

The 3.3v (26A) rail combined with the 5v (30A) rail can provide a max of 56A at 170W.

While the combined total of 6 12v rails can provide a max of 120A at 960W, each 12v rail having a max of 20A.

I suspect that because the 12v rails is split into 6 this is causing my instability issues!

This is what I require assistance with, someone more knowledgeable than myself to tell me if this may be the case.

Hope to get some feedback....

Considering your system could be powered by a good quality 350 watt unit, I highly doubt the Tagan is to blame. If it is, it is a defective unit, not a design failure

Hello, thanks for the response.

So from what you have said, if for example if one of the 12v rails, goes over 20A that this wouldnt effect system stability?

Is it down to the PSU to determine if the current drawn from the 12v rails is to be 'balanced' across the other 12v rails?

Sorry but I dont know enough about PSU so am trying to learn!
