It depends, the GXS has a total of 680w spread between the 12v, +3.3v, and +5v rail. The lowest possible amps it can provide on the 12v is 43a but that would mean putting a full 155w load on the +3.3v and +5v rail, which I'd imagine isn't easy. So the total amps on the 12v depends entirely on how many watts are put on the +3.3v and +5v rail.

If that's the GameXStream, it's 50A. I base this on the following:

The GameXStream PSUs are identical to the FSP Epsilon. For either PSU, it's not easy to determine the actual load on the 12V rails. However, on the FSP web site there is a pdf with technical data, and the max load can be derived from that. On page 6, it is stated that the 'maximum combined current for the 12V outputs shall be 50A'

ExtremeOCing forum people say : 680w / 12v = 56.67A.

Incorrect. Look at the label: it is 680W for the 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails combined. Given that there always is a load on 3.3V and 5V it cannot be 56.67A on the 12V rails.

Did you read the pdf I linked? It's clearly stated in there. And the GameXStream is identical to that PSU.
