Hello

I'm making kind of a project right now. But, i've got a problem with choosing a power supply. I need three times 7.5A continuous current. Will I be able to use a 650W PC Power Supply for this project or do I have to buy a different one? Here's a link to my power supply: **broken link removed**.
It says that it can deliver up to 50A with 12V (which I will be using), but I'm just not sure if it's a current through a few of the connectors added up or the max. current for each connector...
Could anyone please help me with this problem?

Thank you in advance

Can you assemble the led's as a 36V string? Then it would be a single load. It may be easier for you to work with one 36V 7.5A system, rather than a 12V 24A system.

Do you intend to parallel 3 led loads? That gives all three loads the exact same voltage. Therefore it's important that none of the loads 'hog' current. The result can be burned led's.
