PSU connecting advice

[Hayze]

Hi guys, my first post after reading alot of reviews and forumposts.
It might be a nub one but if you dont ask you never learn

Here is my question:
I got myself a new rig for xmas, in my previous rig I have been running a single GTX 260 using the 2 fixed PCI-e cables
and now with my new Ci7/Rampage II Extreme/Corsair HX1000W Im adding a second GTX 260 to run them in SLi.
So which of the blue connectors should I use for my second GTX 260 so I dont put all the load on one side?

Im adding a numbered pic to make it easier to tell what conectors I should use.

Thx in advance and sry for any bad english, its not my native language

Peace
Hayze

Like my 1000HX I just got the other day as well.

Good Corsair forum to post any questions to your power supply linked below

Thx for the quick reply and the link
So if I read the diagram correct the recommendation is to run the 2 gfx cards on 12V2 and the CPU and
a third gfx card on 12V1.. what if you only wanna go dual SLi, still both cards on 12V2 I guess... or?

Maybe I should have asked the question there as you suggested but hey, its nice here ;P

One card is connected by the hard connected PCIe cables coming from the power supply

Second card plug into 12v2 (The Blue PSU connector) with the modular cables

All of the PCI-E connectors are on the second rail, so you don't really have a choice. Just plug the cables into two of the blue sockets in back of the PSU (any two; it doesn't matter since they're drawing from the same source anyway.
