Found somthing interesting. Most versions of this PSU tested has a 16A
+12V line, but apparently I'm lucky and I have a newer model of it
(it's even possibly to buy new today, that's strange, 4 years after).

The strange totals (sum of wattage beeing higher that the total) by
this table I found at
http://www.enermax.com.tw/english/pr...y1.asp?PrID=29

It seems like the 3.3/5V and 12V share something inside the PSU.

+3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5Vsb Total
32A 32A 26A 1A 1A 2.2A 350W
----185W---- 312W 5W 12W 11W
--------322W-------- --------28W--------- 350W

As you see from the table the 3.3/5 and 12 share 322W, but that should
mean that when moving the graphics card load from 3.3/5V (with the
Ti-4200) to 12V (with the 7600GS) the load is still in the same 322W

That is if I have understood how this "sharing" of power works :-)
