Looking for a cyberdeal fora good PSU that has a t least 25 amps on the 12 volt line

Anrec true **** 550 look good but will consider others.

The sparkle 550 is a bit cheaper than the Antec http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-103-478&catalog=58&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

also a raidmax 500 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-152-011&catalog=58&depa=1 but I dont know anything about those.

and a Vantec 470 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-103-472&catalog=58&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

What kind of system are you running with that beast of a PSU?

I'm running an enermax eg-431p-ve. It was an asskicker in its day but with all my HD and an abit NF-7S/2500xp 15A on the 12v rail isn't enough

What evidence do you have to support this? I'm running an NF7-S, 1700+@3400+ speeds, 4 HDs, 2 optical drives, 9 fans...and my 12v rail under heavy load is 12.08v measured with a multimeter. I hope you checked your voltages on a multimeter. Also, I'm funning a Fortron 350w, with just 16A on the 12v line.

Could be that my first indication that somethings is wrong is hearing the overload relay kicking in shutting down all power to my computer.

Geeze buddy....I was just trying to help. Obviously, 16A is good enough for mine, though Fortrons are underrated. Maybe you have a high-end video card?

Anyway, I'd recommend the Fortron 530/550. You may have to change pinouts on the 550, but if you get it cheaper and want to, go for it.

The vantec power supply is pretty sweet. Its a 3 fan unit, comes with a 24 pin server plug and includes an adapter for standard ATX mobo. Also includes several SATA drive power connectors
