Probably is a 400 watter, but just not a very good one.

In Win Commander II 1200W. OEM is Andyson. Topology: double-switch forward+DC-DC converts for +3.3V&+5V+synchronous rectifying. Two big capacitors are from Panasonic(HC series), which are rated at 400V 105℃. Capacitors on the secondary side are from cheapo teapo.(sc series).

It's odd that they would use andyson as the OEM. In Win usually build their own units.
