Besides the cheap PSUs, despite the high wattage they are caliming to have, often (always?) have low power on the 12V rail. Which is where it counts, because this is the main power source for CPU and GPU.

You can basicly consider the maximum load on 12V rails as the defacto power of a PSU nowadays.
The other rails will never max out before 12V does.
