–12 VDC: 1A
+5 VFP: 2A
250W, max 200WDC continuous
Trust PSU:
+12 VDC: 16A
+5 VDC: 30A
+3.3 VDC: 20A
–12 VDC: 1A
+5 VFP: not specified; -5V is 1A
420W, nothing specified but appears to be continuous
So at the 12V it's still only 16A (for 29.95€ you shouldn't expect a PSU that resembles a welding machine  ), but that's more than 14A anyway and in combination with other loads, it will be able to keep delivering that load. The 5 and 3.3 currents are also significantly larger.
I'll install the PSU in a few weeks time I think, atm I really need the PC so I won't start doing magic inside it  . |
Does the Trust PSU have Active Power Factor Correction?
Some more comparisons:
Astec Model SA147-3505 PSU:
+12V: 4.2A maximum
+5V: 18A
+3.3V: 13A
-12V: 0.8A
+5VSB: 0.1A
145W continuous
No Active Power Factor Correction
Very light in weight so it's easy to carry around all day.
Powered a 233MHz Pentium HP box for nine years and still works.
Allied AL-A350ATX REV:B PSU:
+12V: 12A (peak output)

No Active Power Factor Correction
A true waste of refined metal.
