Atrix 500T Extreme 650W Review

Specifications:

These specifications give no power limits for combined rails and as previously mentioned, I have no instruction manual for this power supply. Attempts at finding any further information on the Internet proved fruitless, but I did get the impression, as the model number suggest and based on other Atrix variants, that this power supply could very well be only 500W continuous with a 650W peak. If total power is calculated based on the above specifications, the result is 621W. It would be very unusual, on a power supply of this type, to have the full 30A available on the +3V3 and 5V0 rails simultaneously. I have therefore decided to treat this power supply as 500W continuous and presume the peak to be 650W. I may very well be able to revise my decision after testing.
