    Will do, then. It may be a little while... if you see my thread in the AMD forum, you'll see that I'm awaiting nforce 4 before I put my phase change system together. Still, I could test the X-Connect in my current system, presently powered by a 430W Enermax.

    Even my Enermax lists its power rating at lower than the sum of all the rails. I believe this may be standard practice... the Amperage ratings are the maximum possible draws, right? So if it had 34A it would have very little left for the +5V and +3.3V rails? I agree, it seems very unlikely that a power supply at that cost could handle so much +12v load. I am rather skeptic. I suppose I shall see when I put it to the test.
