Generally they do, my 750 watt actually only gives about 738 or something. they normally just round it up as to why probably something to do with manufacturing or number of outputs

And more than looking at the rails, some manufacturers simply lie. Raidmax sent a unit in to be 80Plus tested (achieved Gold), and then sold a different inferior (Bronze) PSU with the Gold label.
