Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Figure 15: Power supply label.

This power supply uses a dual-rail design distributed like this:

  • +12V1 rail (solid yellow wire): All connectors but the ATX12V/EPS12V.
  • +12V2 rail (yellow with black stripe wire): ATX12V/EPS12V connectors.

This is the typical distribution used on power supplies with two virtual rails.

Now let’s see if this power supply can really deliver 500 W.
