Alrighty!

So reading through Brian's write up along with several others coversions for charging duty I decided it was definately the way to go. So I order a solid Corsair 400w single rail power supply capable of supplying 30A on it's 12v rail.

Fast forward, PS is open torn down here in front of me. I measured the 12v output and looks like about 12.17'ish solid. So should be good there.

So looking at making a few wiring mods to support my Hyperion 720i for charging duty. I'm planning on going to 12AWG DC out so looking at the board to find the taps and I see what says 12v1+12V2... WTF

That said, I've got 2 sets of 4x 18AWG wires tapped into 12v1 on the board and a set of 3x 16AWG 4yellow with black stripes that I think are on 12v1 though I won't be able to tell until I get to the house and pull the board from the case to see.

Thoughts? I'll assume this doesn't have 2x 12v rails, no? I "believe" the yellow with blacks (had corresponding blacks with white) were from the PCIE 6 pin video card cable.

Thoughts?
