Well i got a new PWS that was a 550W madcat. It has Turbo, Quiet and Auto mode. It comes with a red video power connector and a shitload of extensions i think 4 lines with 3-4 connectors on each line. So i was able to put the red cable and into the first connector and then use a free branch into the 2nd. Because that is what it recommended with my eVGA card. I suppose in case one power line gets a dip in power the other line would keep a steady current?? Who knows but she rocks is all i know.
