Suppose this PSU, whose label says '19A max on +5V':
But that as a matter of fact comes with one 30A rectifier on +5V, of this model:
Then suppose I use it to power an old Athlon XP system without 'P4' connector on the mobo, meaning the CPU draws all its juice from +5V (as opposed to from +12V like modern stuff).
Thus total system draw is something like say 25A from +5V, 5A from +12V, and 5A from +3.3V.
Will that PSU cope with, or will it bust?
