And if you look at the photo of the PSU you posted you will see that it only provides +25A.
40A though, bloody hell that's greedy. I can start a car engine with less than that - guess I'm starting to fall out of the loop on High spec PCs.

I was bit a naughty and took the top off the PSU (NOT RECOMMENDED) and noticed that most of the capacitors looked like they had blobs of ice-cream on top.
The casings had split and their contents had oozed out.
My nephew put a series 7 card in his PC and that ran for 3 months on a 350w PSU before it died. Luckily the card survived, so I just replaced the PSU.
