Running 3 psu´s at 10 to 20% load instead of one at 30 to 60% load where it is the most efficient is kind of strange. Presuming that they are all 80% efficient there is three times the power loss.
It spells Global Warming!

A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall. He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my grandpa"

The cop asked, "What's he like?"

The little boy replied, "Jack Daniels and women with big tits."

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psucrossload/crossloading.html it says it has more to do with crossing old power supplies with newer ones basically since older computers use more power on different rails it causes the load to be higher than what a new psu expects so if it gets to imbalanced the psu might shut down. this what you were talking about? im not very worried since all three power supplies are new and my pc isnt too old either. stop me if im wrong
