Well, I stared at this thing for days before actually installing it, and like I said previously I was a bit lost on the whole “Holy Crap 550 watts!” I just couldn’t wrap my noodle around it. Why, cause I’m an idiot, but more so, what’s with this dual rail technology, I hadn’t heard of it before. Well it turns out the dual rails placed in the X2 are designed to help deliver a cleaner power flow to your processor, and with the lack of unnecessary cables the air flow from the fan cools the system down even further. But more importantly the dual rail power flow allows for greater overclocking potential. This baby is taylor made for those suped up gaming machines that steal an extra .? gig from the processor and need to be kept in the clear.
Please note that one of the dual rails is exclusively designed to take care of the processors power giving a staed 12v of power, never wavering, never faltering, it’s the U.S. Marines of the computer set.
The other 12v rail powers everything else in your computer. Think about it, if your processor is getting it’s own steady IV of power, then less problems are likely to occur.
