And check that out, 2x30A and 2x35 Amps on the four 12V rails. And combined should you opt that, one single 12V rails rated at 70 Amps (x12V= 840W for the 12V rails alone). This PSU can take two GeForce GTX 980 cards or Radeon HD 290X cards without a problem. Considering a high-end graphics card eats roughly 15 Amps per card and 20 at best, the math here is easy.

All of the power supplies in the this Series have the necessary protection functions, even in extreme conditions. Below is a list of the included protections:

  • OCP: Over Current Protection. This function will latch the power supply off if any given rail is overloaded beyond a safe level. 
  • OVP: Over Voltage Protection. This function will latch the power supply off if voltages exceed specification. 
  • UVP: Under Voltage Protection. This function will latch the power supply off if voltages drop below specification. 
  • SCP: Short Circuit Protection. This function will latch the power supply off in the event of a short. 
  • OTP: Over Temperature Protection. In the event that temperatures exceed a specified value, the power supply will latch off. 
  • OPP: Over Power Protection. If the total output power of the power supply exceeds a safe level, the power supply will latch off.

The Series 11 DPP  power supplies have a modular cable set that allows you to use only the cables you need for your particular set of components. When it comes to wiring we feel that there are enough connectors for this PSU model, have a look at the supplied connectors, all with decent length by the way. The benefits of this dark sleeve design are a cleaner, neater look. The cables are also long enough to support full-tower cases.

The ATX motherboard connector is 60~70CM, the Molex and SATA power cables up-to 90 CM, the 4/8-pin CPU ATX power connector is at a great length of roughly 70 cm and the PCIe graphics connectors reach up-to 60 cm as well. You will receive four sets of PCI-Express graphics power connectors, three dual 6+2 pin connectors and a single 6-pin cable. So you your graphics cards are energy efficient enough, 3-way multi-GPU is an options, albeit we'd recommend you to stick towards 2-way.

And last but not least, the OC Key. You can activate one big 70 Amps 12 Volts rails if you prefer that, you can simply use the jumper wire to activate it, or if you like a little more flexibility, you can use the included PCI Slot switch.
