Is 60 amps too much?

[Lawrence Good]

I have a amd FX - 8350 and I just switched the power supply to a thermaltake 750W for a higher amp rail for the cpu, The amp is 60 for the 12v rail for the cpu, is that too much because ever since i swapped it ive been loading a bit slower on applications.

CPUs and GPUs will only draw as much power as they need. You cant "overpower them". The FX - 8350 is only a 125 watt part, so to figure the amperage it would need the math is watts/volts=amps. 125/12=10.4. So your CPU will only pull 10.4 amps at max load. Of course you need power for the board ram and drives, but you get the idea. If you do not have a GPU a 250 watt PSU would be perfectly fine in that computer and have absolutely no impact on the CPUS speed or ability to load programs.

There's no such thing as too much amps, you computer will draw what it needs, nothing more.

Check the PC for viruses. Changing the PSU cannot make it slower, but a virus can.
