3.3V Rail
[HR][/HR]We will start with testing the 3.3V rail, which doesn’t cater for many of the computer’s components in this day and age. They are generally left for higher voltage rails, mainly the 12V rail.
5V Rail
[HR][/HR]Next in our tests was the 5V rail, which being very similar to the 3.3V, doesn’t power the higher end components of a computer system but is still a vital part of a power supply.
12V1 Rail
[HR][/HR]The third test is for the most important rail; the 12V. Some brands opt for multiple 12V rails to distribute the power evenly, Akasa have gone ahead with this logic of thinking and have dual 12V rails. The 12V rail powers the most vital components of a system, and is in our eyes the most important.
12V2 Rail
[HR][/HR]This PSU has more than one 12V rail to give extra stability across the system. We test this rail in exactly the same way as the 12V1 rail.
12V3 Rail
[HR][/HR]Next up is the 12V3 rail which acts in much the same way as the other 12V rails whilst giving extra stability.
12V4 Rail
[HR][/HR]Lastly we test the 12V4 rail, which once again gives extra stability to the 12V rails.
