Question And What is this? Isnt a mistake?

[oneGamerE]

Well here I see a 350 Cooler Master with 36A in the single +12V rail which outputs 456W in it.
Well, how is that possible to a +12V rail output greater energy than what is written in the PSU main Wattage?

The PSU I talk about is this Cooler Master I saw

Elite V3 350 | Cooler Master

Cooler Master Elite V3 350

www.coolermaster.com

Just scroll down to the bottom OK?

Thanks

Because they messed up that is the specs for the Elite 550.
They show the wrong sticker on all of that model.

Where does it say 36A and 456W though ? But check the PDF file for correct info. BTW, the ELITE series are very low-end PSUs. Falls under bottom TIER of the PSU hierarchy list.

That power supply has only a 75% efficiency.

You're probably seeing an input power rating as opposed to the output power.

(Output Power / Input Power) * 100 = Efficiency %

350W / 456W = 0.767 ||| 0.767 * 100 = 76.7% Efficiency

Stickers on all wattages 350 , 450 , 550 all show the 550 SPECS , just poor\errors marketing pics , if you download the PDF manual it's correct in there for all the models
