newbie split rail setup question

[fuzzbutt99]

I just bought an enermax 470w PSU with split rails in hopes of giving me stability with a high end graphics card. However, I'm confused on if I need to do anything in particular to take advantage of the dual rails. In other words, if I'm hooking up my graphics card does it matter which molex I use, or is there a specific molex that I need to use in order for split 12 volt rails to work. Below is a pic of the wires included with the psu. Its basically 3 strands, one with the main connector, one strand with an extra molex, p4, and aux, and the other strand with sata, molexes, and floppies.

use the wrapped strand. If this were a NeoPower, you'd just have to plug in your 6pin power connector.

cheers,

Yeah, after seeing all the extra cables I'm starting to regret not going with the neo now

Mine should come tomorrow!

+12V1 should be the mobo (CPU\chipset\cards\AGP)
the 20>24 pin main connector and the 4 pin aux +12V connector

+12V2 should be the rest of the wiring harness,
including the aux power to the Video card from what I gather
thus its drawing power from both rails through the aux and the slot
