So now I figure I should learn the basics on how to properly balance the load on a PSU.
I was obviously just working the 4 year old PSU too hard, and had connected the power cables all haphazardly not paying attention to amps, or rails, or any of that stuff.
So now I come to you guys for an education. In simplest terms, how do I figure out what to connect to what?
Example: Say I have a 1050W PSU that has this: +3.3V@24A, +5V@30A, +12V1@20A, +12V2@20A, +12V3@20A, +12V4@35A, +12V5@35A, +12V6@20A,

I need to connect 4 HDDs, 1 SSD, 1 DVD, MB, CPU, and 3 5830s.
How should I connect this to safely load the PSU?
