| Aug 30, 2013 at 2:08 | comment | added | irrational John | When only the CPU and one stick of DDR2 RAM are installed? I would think 28A is more than sufficient for that configuration. Also, the label on the "working one", the Antec 380w, says its 12v lines are rated at only 17A. | |
| Aug 30, 2013 at 1:55 | comment | added | cybernard | It is possible to have a power supply with too many amp in the wrong place and still be higher watts. The working one has 32amp@12v and the non working one has 28amp@12v. This could be the issue. | |
