The two 12v rails run at 19A which is quite high I have to admit and as we can see the 5V runs at 20A and the 3.3V at 25A peak performance.
These stats are pretty good even compared to other good power supplies on the market. The back of the unit is equipped with a grill to ventilate the hot air out of the case. You also have a On/Off switch and a small led that shows if there are any problems with the voltage from the PSU.
