I see there are like 50 PS listed in the sticky thread, question though, says the Fortron 530W will "outperform" most high end PS, but then someone told me that it is "Weak in the 12v" is this true? If so what should I get? So many to pick from, by "Weak in the 12v" does that mean the A @ 12?

Getting it to OC A6 3200+ to 2.5 ghz.

Want to order my new system this afternoon, thanks :)
 
Looks like the Fortron 530 puts on 28A on the 12V+ line, which is not weak by any means, but it also only has a single 12V+ rail. The NeoPower has two 12V+ rails for a total of 34A and the Antec 550 has 36A on it's 12V+ rail. So, I wouldn't say the Fortron is underpowered on its 12V line, but there are power supplies w/ more amperage.
 
According to a spec I got recently, it has 8Amp AVE with max 28Amp on +12V, but it has 20Amp AVE and 40Amp max at +5V, with 15A & 28A on +3V.

Sould'nt you rather take the +5V capability in cosidiration ?
