12V rail - wrong current rating in manual? #50

Open NyxCode opened 2 months ago

NyxCode commented 2 months ago

The manual states

Take note that the 12V rail can supply up to 4A, the 5V up to 8A and the 3.3V up to 1A however, in order to prevent overloading the rails it is not recommended to load them to their maximum capacity since there are already various components on the motherboard which also take their supply from them.

However, looking at the schematic, it seems like a AOZ1283PI is used as buck converter, which is only rated at 2.5A.

Either I'm missing something, or that information is false and dangerous.
