Hi!

So I have this Enermax 550 W modular PSU and I need to connect it to my GTX 760 which has one 8 pin and one 6 pin connector.
Now as seen from here it has 2 12v rails

And it also has to cables to fit them. One cable has just one 6pin + 8 pin connector and the other cable has 2 x 6pin + 8 pin cables.

Now if I am to connect this GPU, can I just use the cable that has like two cables in it to power the GPU? Or must I take on big wire , leave one of the connectors just laying around and then connect the other wire?

Use these from ur psu
1 should be used as 8pin (by attaching the 6+2pin )
1 should be used as 6 pin (by using a connector without the extra 2 pin

I'd use the the one cable with the 6pin + 8pin.

But they say you have to spread it even between rails. But the one cable that has like 2 cables coming from it. Is it on 2 rails? Or is it on one.
@Sn1992 both of thoes cables are like that, it's just that one of them has 2 of them in one connector and the other one has just 1 and the other part is empty.

My problem is that if I connect the one that has 2 in one conenctor, will I be using only 1 rail?

Oh I misread then, yeah split them up using the two different ones. 2x6 I believe and the 8.

Allright so the one with 2 cables is still using just 1 rail then? It's a shame because it will make my cable managament a lot harder :S

I'll try to be a bit clearer with my answer. You should use the two separate lines when plugging into your GPU. How ever that make up is that's how I would do it.
