Question about amps Straight power 10

[Kontrano]

HI

 

Im looking to upgrade my new psu and graphics card to a RX 480 8gb but im reading that you need quite a few amps for it more than 25? 

The psu i was thinking about going for is the Be quiet Straight power 10 but it had 4 12v rails 20,20,18,18 amps respective can i even run it on this? or do amps not stack? 

Never really had to think about this so i have no idea...

 

Hopefully someone can help me out

25A * 12V is 300W of power. I'm pretty sure the RX 480 doesn't take up that much power.

No only about 220 or something with the custom cards but that should mean in fine?

You should be fine, but I don't think it would take up that much more power for a custom board.

The Be Quiet! Straight Power 10 600W can deliver 576W on the 12V rails, which is equivalent to a single 12V rail with 48A.

 

It's way plenty for any RX 480.

 

(the amps on the separate 12V rails do not stack fully, as you can see - 48 is less than 18+18+20+20)
