Corsair HX 620W - Whic sockets are which rails?

siuko · 5 Mar 2007 at 16:57

Just received my nice new Corsair HX 620W power supply... its one sexy beast (well for a power supply anyways)

I've installed it on my system and everything is working ok - but as I was installing it I was wondering something...

The modular sockets that the cables connect into - are they split between the 3 x 12v rails? I just thought that if they were specific for each 12v rail (say 2 sockets for one rail, 2 sockets for another rail and 2 pci-e sockets on the final rail) it may be worth knowing which is which so that I can plug them in and spread the load evenly between the 3 rails?

Anyone any ideas?

The ampage is distributed between all three rails, so it wont make a difference.

Thanks for the quick reply....

So if I understand you your saying even though there are 3 x 12v rails (each at 18a each) its actually 54a total and as its distributed between the 3 rails one rail could be using says 24a while another uses 3a....

As long as the total isnt over 54a?

Thats cool if thats the case!!

The load is distributed equally, so if 24A was being pulled, they would be holding 8 each.
