Made by Fortron, note the mfg part #.

Dual rails? Add up the amps right? So its got 44amps overall on the +12v rail?

 

[ManBearPig]

So those two are the same?

I have the same PSU in my system right now.
specs.
AMD 64 3400+
EPOX 8KDA+
NVIDIA 6800GT
120GB Seagate HD

Good stuff. Is this new? I seem to recall Fortron having weaker +12V rails, even their 500+W models. If I'd seen this 2 months earlier I'd have chosen it over my Enermax Noisetaker 470W.

I have the Fortron 530W. I'm very happy with it.
IMO the manufacturer's power ratings for the rails don't mean much. I just stick with a good brand.

 

[Arcanedeath]

it's the same PSU from GameVE, Fortron and Sparkle are part of the FSP group, which makes both companies PSU's, also this is a very good unit and can't really be beat for the price.

I'm running this PS with plenty of load and have had no probs. Read the customer reviews, I'd agree with most of the comments there.
