Picking up a 7800GT soon and was wondering which 12v rail should I use. I read through the manual briefly but couldn't find a layout of which plug is the 18A and which is the 15A.

Should I dedicate the 15A to the video card and put everything else on the 18A side?

Is the stand alone plug(not the fan plug) the 15A rail?

Am I even in the ball park? :)


System will consist of :

Intel 845p chipset
Intel Pentium 820D
2x 80gb SATA in Raid 0
Audigy2 ZS

7800GT w/AR Silencer

PCI Slot fan
2x 60mm exhaust
1x 92mm Intake

DVD-rom
DVD-RW

Usually the 12V2 is for the AUX12v 4 pin (or dual 4-pin) +12V lead(s) that feed the cpu. Some vendors allow 12V2 to power the PCI-E outputs. 12V1 is for everything else that requires it.

In a nutshell just plug everything in the "conventional" way. :)
