I prefer a single line design. There's no messing with deciding where to connect which cable, and if you buy a quality PSU, it'll have no issues with voltage regulation.
Theoretically with separation it's more stable, but well... When I was loading Corsair AX1200i even with spikes up to 110A on 12v line, it maintained voltages at really stable levels.
Is it good or is it bad that it only has a single 12V rail?

it's an Amperage question
multiple 25A and 2 590GTX (
huge A eater) and you might have trouble with your 1200W PSU but single 150A and it goes fine with your 800W PSU.
both side have for and con point, but for normal/gaming/OC single is more effective.

Thanks guys. I actually thought it's better to have two rails for two graphics cards... only half the story

i always prefer a single 12V rail, its simpler to connect all the devices. i think is better one big circuit than many small circuits. this topic aside, this PS its just beautiful.

It really depends on how the PSU is designed. I always liked the explanation found here: Single vs. Multiple +12V rails: The splitting of the +12V rail

Very neat psu, looking forward for a review from Hilbert should he get one in for testing.

its a perfect match for those white asus x99 motherboards.
White NZXT H440 tower + asus x99 deluxe motherboard + seasonic snow white psu. Add 1 or 2 white ssd's to put on display where the h440 has 2 spots right in front of the window. A gpu with white accents. Would be a sexy lookin build.
