Help! Real mess with my PSU

[Steeeeve]

Ugh, so I am sleeving my power supply (Seasonic S12) and I labeled the wires on the ATX connector so I would know where they go...sadly the numbers wipped off as the sleeve went on. So now I got 24 wires and no idea where they go. The question is...are the wires "color coded" as in yellow is +12vDC etc... and if so, can I put any yellow in there?

Thanks..I hope I can fix this. -_-

well...

the basics are here

(last table listed as BTX)

all the +12V wires on that particular supply, in the main connector strand should be the same rail

that would be different in an EPS12V split plane (4x12V rails) but not that ATX12V

so does this mean that if I just use the same colors it will work ok?

The positions of the wires matter only if you plan to ever use the PSU with a mobo that has only 20 pins instead of 24. In that case you want any double wires (a second wire may be piggybacked to first on the same pin) to be among the first 20 pins because they're used for sensing voltage at the mobo (why those wires are often thinner), and if they're not connected the voltages may be less accurate by a few tenths of a volt under heavy loads.
