Power Supply Wiring Question.

How can you tell which physical wire bundle goes with which DC output?

I can certainly measure the voltage, but need to be certain that a given plug matches to a specific wattage for correct amps.

CoolerMaster 500 (RS-500-PCAR-A3)

Sticker on the unit says the following:
+3.3V (22A)
+5V (25A)
+12V1 (18A)
+12V2 (18A)
-12V (0.5A)
+5VSB (2.5A)

Here are the plugs I have off this unit:
QTY 1 - 24pin CPU connector
QTY 1 - 6pin Yellow/Black connector
QTY 2 - 4pin Yellow/Black connectors
QTY 1 - 5 wire bundle Black/Black/Red/Yellow+black/Orange
QTY 1 - 5 wire bundle Black/Black/Red/Yellow/Orange
QTY 1 - 5 wire bundle Black/Black/Red/Yellow+black

I am trying to hook specifically to the +5V (25A) and the +12V1 (18A) and +12V2 (18A) lines.

Ok understood. But my question centers around how much current I can pull from each of the various plugs. For example, how much current can I use from P5 for example using RED and BLACK? Is this the +5V at 25A or the +5VSB at 2.5A? Same question for a 12V plug.
