Power Distribution
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

In Figure 13, you can see Earthwatts 500 W label stating all its power specs. As we have already mentioned, Antec labeled their power supply at 50º C (this information is on their website).

Figure 13: Power supply label.

As you can see this power supply has two virtual rails, each one rated at 17 A. These rails are distributed as following:

  • +12V1: Main motherboard cable, ATX12V, EPS12V.
  • +12V2: All peripheral cables.

We think that Antec made a good distribution for a two-rail product.
