So I know that the actual Power output from the +12v rails is not the same as the sum of the two or more rails, so how do you calculate what the actual power output is?
For example, the Antec True Power Trio 550W has 3 +12v rails with 18A on each of them. That's a total of 54 Amps, but that's obviously not how much power it actually puts out. Someone estimated that the power on that would be 42A, but declined to explain. So I'm wondering if there's some sort of mathematical formula to figure it out.
