Bottom Line:
Initially it appears to be a very capable power supply..... but when you entice the buying public with bling and gizmos, slap a 400W label on it, and then bundle a 20-to-24-pin adapter, you invite disaster.

Specifications
Now it's time to take a look at the label....
Only 18A available on the 12V rail. Pathetic. I'm not even going to
try for Test Three. Last time I did this, I blew up the power
supply.

As before; an ass-load of multi-colored cable mayhem.
Time for a quick cable count?
