My old Corsair HX1000 has a toggle switch right on the unit to switch between multiple and single 12v rails. This isn't new and I don't understand why they're advertising this as "overclocking". I think they should just better educate users on the difference between single and multiple rails.

Multi rail has each 12V group (rail) protected individually, if any of them draw too much the PSU shuts down. This is to protect individual components, but it also means a component that wants a bit more power as normal operation shuts down the PSU, while really the power supply has plenty of headroom because none of the other rails are drawing max power. Single rail combines all the groups, so individual components don't trigger protection, but total power draw still does. I think originally you actually had multiple rails because power supplies had separate circuitry for each that really couldn't handle more. Modern supplies however have the multiple rails are an addition that isn't really needed for the PSU itself, though load ballancing might improve efficiency or something. In practice however no-one really needs this. Only some extreme overclocking scenarios are ever going to need it. It's one of those "if you have to ask, you don't need it" things. I'm also not sure why Jay makes a big deal of it. This has existed for years and is fairly standard on high power PS's. The only thing special is the switch you can access without opening the case, which in my opinion is a bad idea; it's hard to picture a scenario where you routinely reboot to (de)activate such an OC feature, and if you do chances are you're going to forget switching at some point so you're better off leaving it on the single rail setting when not overclocking.

​@L3v3LLIP think of it like the breaker panel of your house. Let's say you have a 200 Amp main breaker, and 10 20 amp breakers feeding appropriately sized wiring and loads on each. (Of course nobody's generally pulling 200 Amps, but bear with the example). Now, let's say circuit 3 has a device that's malfunctioning and drawing more current than it should. So now there's 30 Amps on that 20 Amp circuit. The individual 20 Amp breaker will "detect" that over current. For a multi rail PSU the OCP (over current protection) detects the excess load on one rail and shuts down the entire PC. In contrast, if you could "single rail" (Overclock, lol) your home's breaker panel, instead of having 10 20 Amp circuits, they'd all feed off the main 200 Amp breaker. You'd still be able to effectively pull 200 Amps in your entire house. However, if one device/circuit is malfunctioning and drawing more current than it should (30 Amps on circuit 3, and let's say 4 Amps everywhere else), the main breaker is going to have no idea that that device/wiring on circuit 3 is being overloaded. Now, let's say you really needed 30 Amps, because you have two appliances. In a house, the right thing to do would be to add a circuit with appropriate wiring to "split" that 30 Amp load across two protection devices, or two circuits. In the PSU world, the "safer" approach is to stay multi rail, and try to balance your loads between the different rails to stay within their limits. However, in the PC/PSU world, if you truly have one device that only plugs in one PSU output that exceeds the current protection in multi rail, you CAN go single rail to work around it, but you're limiting (almost eliminateing) your current protection on your other devices.

Dust is not why the fan ramps up. You need momentary higher voltage to kick the dead weight of the resting fan into motion, then you can apply less power to keep it spinning. Just like starting up a merry-go-round (or a flywheel)...it takes greater force to start movement, then far less to maintain a certain speed.

That's just a sad excuse for not using PWM, as a PWM controlled fan still feeds the full 12V to its motor at all speed levels. There are more reasons for it, like providing a safe default configuration in case the circuit that regulates its speed is malfunctioning, with the short period of going full speed being only the time the control circuit requires to stabilize on startup. NTC temp sensors have a lot of noise so you need to collect quite a bit of data to calculate a more reliable value, which delays the startup time of that circuit significantly, especially if it's using a PID control circuit. Some PSU manufacturers like Seasonic also like to use fans with a type of bearing that needs to passively build up oil pressure while spinning, which may benefit from a fast spin-up to reduce wear and tear.

Here in Africa the sockets are 240v 16A ,the breakers are 20A with 2.5mm (13 gauge) wire so its a total of 4700w per at wall outlet. Our sockets are a bit beefier than European and UK sockets. I don't think this affects PC's as much as it does American kitchen appliances 1600w limit for kettle sandwich toasters air fryers vacuum cleaners were ours are 2200w - 3000w. At least US electric ovens have dedicated 220v sockets, but remember its just the two 110v phases in Delta there is no neutral in US 220v 30a sockets so no GFCI possible on the 220v. What makes American electricity so dangerous is the amperage and lack of GFCI breaker on the entire panel i.e all breakers down stream of GFCI like in it is for us in 220v countries.

The Australian power grid is 230v +10% to -6% (so 253v to 216v), with most power being supplied in the higher end of 240v - 250v. Our normal sockets are rated at 10a, so we normally expect 2,400w to be available at the plug. We do have a 15a rated socket that is backwards compatible with 10a plugs (a larger ground pin prevents 15a plugs from entering 10a sockets), but they are pretty rare in residential properties. I've only lived in one place that had a 15a socket and that was located in the garage.

In most American households the highest wattage devices are typically things that won't be moved, dish washers, laundry washers & dryers, so therefore it makes sense to install the specific higher voltage outlet at that location.

this is one of those situations in which a proprietary or at least non-standard cable is justified. I can easily imagine a normal power cable overheating from having 1600W of power basically shove down it's throat. It's either you melt your standard cable or just flat out break it. Also yeah, never cheap out on power supply. if you have the money to buy RBGs and stuff, use that money instead and dump it on the power supply. A friend of mine who has this fancy system with a strix motherboard had his mobo killed by a cheap chinese power supply he got which was like 1/3rd of the cost of a branded one. The things you should never cheap on are the mobo and power supply. you should just get a lower powered CPU or GPU right now and dump the money into a fancy power supply instead of having your fancy expensive system destroyed by a cheap power supply.

Many power supplies are most efficient when loaded to about 70% or so. So if you buy a 1200W PSU and your system only pulls 450W, it will (possibly) run less efficiently and cost you more on your power bill. Some manufacturers provide a load vs efficiency curve that you can consult.

I just had a dark power pro 12 1200W literally blow up, I bought mine new and I had only used it for a year and a half. It ended up taking my power strip with it but fortunately nothing else. Since this is the first time I've ever had a PSU die me it's going to be hard for me to trust the longevity of Be Quiet's PSUs moving forward. That's not to say the PSU was bad while it was working though, it was always silent and did a good job feeding my 12700K + 3080ti system. Also whatever built in protections definitely did their job and prevented the PSU from taking anything inside my computer with it. So far the RMA process has been fairly smooth, but we'll see if I'm even able to get a replacement since I've seen mixed feedback about Be Quiet's RMA support. Anyways, just wanted to share my experience. Might update if I get a replacement.

A large single 12V rail is technically less safe. Splitting the current over multiple independently monitored rails triggers OCP sooner in case of a short. However it may require reading the manual to know how to plug in your GPU and that is already too much to ask of the average consumer.
