Thanks, everyone who answered. I think I'm going
to spring for another PS
that I know is rated for the full 12 amps. Just out of curiosity, what
could conceivably happen if I ran it at 12 amps and it couldn't handle the
load? By the way, it is indeed an inexpensive, linear type...
Thanks again,
Aaron
That full rating is no longer trusted because of marketing idiots.
Best to find another PSU that have 220 ~ 250W rated, and run it at
12A.
Never assume u find a 12A PSU. Find a 16A or so PSU in other words.
