HI All

I have a Antec True Power 330 watt power supply. I want to find out what the combined wattage is on the 5v and 3.3v rails? I have looked all over their site with no success. I do know the combined wattage of the 5v+3.3v+12v rails is 310 watts. There are 30amps on the 5v rail. 17a on the 12v and 28a on the 3.3v rails. Can anybody help me figure out the wattage?

thanks in advance

The TruePowers are capable of putting out full output on both 3.3V and 5V rails simultaneously, therefore the combined output is (3.3V x 28.0A) + (5V x 30A) = 242W.

Since the max rated total output is 310W for 3.3V, 5V and 12V combined, there would not be a lot of 12V power left over (68W or 5.5A) if both 3.3V and 5V really were putting out 100% rated amperage at the same time. Antec has pushed the bottleneck one level back, basically. The unit can probably surge to about 150% rated output on a temporary basis (~15 seconds).
