It's got a combined 28A available on the +12V rails. See review here, courtesy of our very own jonnyGURU.

If you're curious, 28A is way more than enough for:

OCed C2D E6600
2x1GB memory
8800GTS
2 hard drives
1 optical drive
2 120mm case fans

Good stuff:

[*]Rock-solid +12V load voltage regulation (+/- 1% as tested)
[*]Almost negligible ripple
[*]80%+ efficiency
[*]Good (but not the best) capacitors
[*] Unbeatable performance/dollar ratio

Bad stuff:

[*] Multiple +12V rails; +12V1 limited to 16A, +12V2 limited to 18A
[*] Only 1 PCIe connector, but 2 would be nearly useless considering the above restriction

What that means is that we've got 18A for the CPU only, while 16A goes to the motherboard, hard drive(s)/optical drive(s) and video card(s), according to the spec sheet. Please don't ask me how this makes sense. If it was a single-rail design, or if the limits were more like 22/12 instead of 16/18, the supply could easily handle an 8800GTX running at TDP (~180W) except it only has 1 PCIe power connector.

The Teapo capacitors are also used in the PC P&C Turbo-Cool units, so they should last quite a long time - perhaps not as long as 105C UCC/NCC caps, but who's counting? ;)
