    Its says 12V1 16A, 12V2 16A and 12V3 36A - so its (16+16+36) 68A total..

    One of these will do nicely too.
    Runs 3.5GHz FX60 and X1900XT CF (OCed and increased voltage) smoothly.

    Sorry, I'm a mess here I didn't see the 3rd 12V rail.
    Yeah I'm looking at that FX700-GLN 700Watts unit your talking about and it looks very good as it has a total of 60A on 12V! It's so much cheaper then the pcp&c 850W PSU, $170 vs. $450 damn lol.

    That looks like 4 +12v rails 15-15-15-15 to me. The 3.3v rail has 36A on it...

    Yes the Fortron/Source 700W PSU has those values.
    The numbers I mentioned at the beginning of my post were for the 1kW PC Power&Cooling PSU, which was linked earlier in this thread.

    seems like the seasonic s12 is under-rated those things could most probably take the intel + cf rig.

    According to their website it provides only 36A (18+18) for 12V?
    I have seen 600W Enermax (35A at 12V) and OCZ 600W (38A at 12V) shut down with stock F60+X1900XT CF (Enermax completes 3DMark05 with CPU at 2.2GHz 1.2V max, OCZ at 2.4GHz 1.25V max).
    But then again I guess it also depends on how realistically they rate those power supplies.
    For instance the 550W Coolermaster is rated for only 30A but it will run the mentioned setup nicely thru 3DMark05..

    I love Fortron/Source...probably the only company out there I can say I'm a fanboy of...heh. Always underrated and wonderfully priced. Looks like I found my next PSU.
