hello,
i've been reading up on the 780's psu requirments and when it comes to amps i have no idea what im doing. basicly what i wanna know is: does my psu have 20 amps or 80 amps on the 12 volt rail?

i also read that this is a crappy psu, so idk if i should get a new one
im currently running a 660ti but im planning to upgrade to a 780. can this thing handle the 780?

any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

It gives the total wattage for the +12V rails, so you divide that by 12 to get how many amps it should be able to offer total. In this case, it's about 54 amps. However, some brands are dishonest about the amount of power available, and/or show what it can handle as "peak" power (and might not be able to take that much as a sustained load)


That does not look real to me! It's a fake outline probably.

However you should get a new psu as soon as possible:

Are you crazy or what???

Corsair/Seasonic/XFX are the best brands out there!!

Combat Power?? That's garbage!
 




Only a fool will believe on these ratings! For heaven sake! That's not even 80+!
