I need a new PSU and was looking at This one, but it only does 20amps on the +12 i need 22 but it has 2 seperate rails and i want to know if you can combine them on this PSU.....

why do you need 22amps? seperate rails only need to be ~18amps to support SLi/crossfire if thats what your thinking about, i personally wouldnt recommend hiper at all, too many bad reports on them, go for a seasonic/tagan/ocz/corsair psu IMO

Well it says on the back of the box of the Gcard A power supply that does 22A,

what about this one then

thats assuming single rail PSU though, dual/quad rail PSU's will have no problem running it

mod stream is a very good PSU, but it only has one pci-e connector and so you will have to buy an adapter if you ever want SLi, i'd go for an sli compatible PSU like one of these:

the enermax is modular, sli compliant, and at 500w will have enough juice for all but a few systems
