No specifications too.

Reviews for the Gold model, one complaint of a low 12v

Silver model...

And a user-report of the ratings

To the dude who was asking:
+3.3V: 28A
+5V: 38A
+12V: 17A

This would be a superb 400 watt PSU, but claiming it is 600 watt seems a little ambitious. (But then they didnt claim that, did they? They said "600w".

As it happens, the "500w" PSU elsewhere in this section is slightly *more* powerful, since it has a higher rated output. Go, as they say, figure.
Treated as a 400W class PSU - and at 17A on the 12V, that's about all it's usable as, they seem to be fairly decent at that level.

The "through flow" dual fan layout is good for overall system cooling, but does not represent ideal airflow for the HSF.
