I bought an EVGA GeForce 9800gt bundled with a 600w thermaltake power supply. Come to find out the card requires 26amps on the 12v rail and this power supply has 2 12 volt rails each only offering 14 and 15 amps which unless I am missing something are far under the required limits to run my card.
Here is the power supply in question

Here is the card that is coming with it and will someday hopefully be running in my computer
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130384
the page only requires that I have a 400watt power supply, but EVGA states that the 12v rail must have 26+ amps verified by tech support.
Hopefully I am overlooking something, but unless you can combine the 2 rails together somehow, I am not going to get 26amps off a single 12v rail. Hopefully someone can offer me some good news so I don't have to send my new toys back.
