Ok I looked at my psu manual and every single connector is on the 1st 12V rail except for the 4+4 pin one and I connected that to my motherboard.  I'm no expert but that seems retarded.  Doesn't that mean my power supply is going to be overloaded when I use more than 250 watts on the first rail?  I might be using around that much right now without the second video card and around 100 watts on the second rail maybe because 4+4pin is for cpu?

going to try 2 power supplies now.
