30a seems overkill, theres hardly any PSU's even with that.
It was a shitty PSU, Coolmax AP -600X (550W), it had 18amp on the 12v rail.
I just got a new one today, a Enermax ED565 (535W). It has 22a at the 12v rail, is that enough? The PSU selection was kind of limited around here, I didnt want to order one in. The only other one they had was 28a at the rail, but it was $200 lol. This one I bought is old I think, but its got things on the box as worlds strongest 12v rail, longest lasting PSU, etc...however I could not find many reviews on it. Its got about 18 reviews on ncix, mostly 5/5's and a few 4's...newegg has some low ratings for stupid things like "connector was too tight", "it was messy", and there are only a handful of reviews on newegg.
ahh wtf...new PSU
My bios doesnt have a feature to check voltages
haha the gpu has an exploded capacitor, that explains it i guess.
