PSU

Use a power supply calculator online to calculate the estimated wattage of your PC. Previously, we read that a complete understanding of rails, voltage, and amps in a PSU can play a vital role in choosing the best PSU for your system. Just going through the wattage specifications might not be enough.

A rail is an electrical wire in a PSU. If a PSU has three rails offering a voltage of 12V, that means it has three individual wires with a 12V supply on each of them. A 750 W PSU may be advertised, so even if it offers an amperage (current) of 50 A, the actual wattage would be as follows:

Power = Voltage X Current = 12V X 50 A = 600 W

So, the reason behind advertising the PSU as 750 W instead of 600 W would be the availability of other rails ...
