Need help understanding 12v rails for graphics card

[desmond885]

I am inserting new graphics card with a 2x molex to pcie x16 6pin connector. When I do this I would like to know, can I use one line of wiring a (rail) which is 12v with two 4 pin peripherals connections on. Or do I have two have two seperate lines (rails) with there own individual 4 pin peripherals on.

I hope somebody understands what I mean.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Wires don't equal rails.
What psu do you have ?

Not each wire is a single rail, though on high-end PSU's that's often the case.

As delluser1 asked.. what's your PSU?

 

[desmond885]

G7 extreme power 680w.

G7 extreme power 680w.

Made by the worst psu provider in the world ( Deer ) I wouldn't use it for anything, but that's beside the point.
Tri rail units are usually setup with 1 rail for cpu, 1 rail for PCIE and 1 for everything else.
With no pcie connectors on your psu I doubt you have to worry about rail balancing, pick two 4 pin connectors and go.

Thanks for advice I will get new psu I think. Could you recommend me one my budget is £60 ($90).

Is there any chance the G7 psu could damage my new graphics card, if I used it.

That low quality pos could take out your entire computer, glad to hear you've decided to upgrade rather than go the adapter route.
I'm in the U.S., don't have any links to UK sites handy, if you want to provide a link I will give you a reccomendation.

I've got the Modxstream and the Fatal1ty and the Fatal1ty is a lot quieter. [:bohleyk:1]

Hello,
This has proven useful as I am in the process on buying a GTX780Ti to replace my 670. I have G7 850w Extreme and I was wondering if this will be able to handle a 780Ti.... Would I be correct in saying that I should also replace my PSU?
