Changing PSU Wiring?

Someone suggested from the quote below:

For the PSU it can depend... you can have minimum specifications and experience problem depending of how is wire your hardware, i explain: the Watt is one thing a PSU have a Peak load, this is the max can allow the PSU during a limited time.. the efficiency of the PSU is normally around 70-80%.. of 550W (505W for 12V rails) in your case..
So try the calculation and see if you are at max. ( during a game you have all your system working together..CPU, GPU, soundcard etc,Fans net, usb sometimes etc.. verifiy you ar not too much close of the 70-80% of 505W.. in this case your PSU stress..

Second and certainly more your problem.. try wire differently the different hardware.. the 12V1+12V2 etc...
you have 18A by each on your PSU...but if you have for example the HDD+ CPU 1 and CPU2 connectors on the same rails.. you will have a problem like you will have not 18A for the GPU.. enough in idle, problem then..

example: the CPU1 (24 pin)+ HDD, fans leds on same rails.. if you wire too a PCI express connector for the GPU.. the GPU will never have enough power, for 2 HDD 2Amper by each, 8A for the CPU1, 0.5A by fans.. this will let you only around 4-5-6A save for the GPU then ( real amper is different i have not the number in head.. can be more or lower)..
same for each 12V rails.. The best thing is to try have one 12V rails for each GPU, and only for each GPU..but it's rarely possible .. so try have the more lower thing of each rails connected to GPU for save the max power
for GPU's... same for the CPU2 connector (4+4Pin, or only 4pin on some motherboard).. it's the connector power up the CPU, and a Dual core eat more compared to a single core...)

Now... never trust the Nvidia or ATI recommendations.. they are really, really under the reality.. it's good for don't have crash BSOD windows return etc.. but not for optimal power..

In other style this can come from so many thing: hardware.. driver compability etc.. DDR bandwith for settings you use etc...

That for my some game stutter I experience that I should change around the PSU wiring, but I don't quite get what he means, how to change tbings, especially about the CPU and HDD and fans on the same rail.

All I can see is just changing the PCI-E wires around, swapping the top for the bottom and then changing the 4pin plug on the ATX4P1.

Swapping around the wires at the back of the PSU isn't needed is it?

Here's a screenshot:

He mentions, what I believe that using the ATX4P1, at the bottom below the last PCI slot, can have a effect on performance?

whoops thought this was a thread on how to change it. nvm.

YEAH you THREAD JACKER, LMAO 😉

Anyhow I got the jist of it, I only have my DVD, floppy and 2 120MM LED fans sharing the same wire is all, everything else is on it's own.

THANKS
