Tagan has a patent pending on this so we dont see this in other psus. In my second rig, I have the tagan u22 set to a single rail setting. I think at the time they made these dual rail was just coming out and Im sure they wanted to sell these psus in any flavor a consumer wanted.Tiresmoke said:Take a Tagan u22 for example. I use it as it has a trick. You can combine it's two rails into one with a switch on the back. It has a 30a total 12v output if you have it switched to single rail. Or if you select dual it is a 20/20 split. Tagan is a pretty good PSU maker. However you can see that it is only giving 30a total power output on the 12v rails no matter where the switch is set. So in split mode both rails will have to equal that number. That may be a 15/15 split or a 20/10 split or maybe something in between. I have seen folks have issues in split mode that goes away in single rail mode. So yu tell me what is going on then.
But more to the point. We have another major company coming out with 2 new huge single rail psus - Silverstone. The first model is the 650w, 54a on the 12v rail:

And the 1 megaton psu with 80a on a single 12v rail:

Now why would 2 major companies go back to single rail psus? I was reading up on this and its cheaper to make than multirail psus plus they are finding that their is no safety issue with having so many amps on a single rail (like electrocution).
