it does show the amps there they are copied right from the table. it has more amps then the 520hx.
you don't just add up amps on rails like that you loose some through multiple rails. Sure it may combined have like 47 so it SAYS if you combine them all 3 but no it doesn't work like that. Through lose of efficiency i cant see that PSU putting out more than 38.

Look at the side panel of a 520HX, the 3 rails are 18A EACH. which should add up to 52 right? However no because you loose power due to efficiency the Corsair really only puts out a combined 40A. I would say the strider since it has a lower efficiency really only outs out around 36-37 at best.
