I have this PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817189012
so is there some kind of norm or rule how those 6pin outlets are positioned.

20+4 pin, 4pin cpu and 6pin PCI-E are attached to the PSU.
there are other 6pin outlets there. aligned in pairs so they form
2x6 pin rows.
so 2 6pin of black color, then 2 6 pin of black color, then 2 6pin of red color( they must be PCI-E additional cables, because my PCI-E cables have red ends).

so which one of them is 12V2 and 12V3. which ones I used for HD, DVDburner, fans etc.
 
anyone???
ceew1, you are really letting me down.
I thought you are almighty PSU God.
the manual does not tell which one is which. I thought
there is some kind of standard.
 
hehe, I don't live on this forum you know!

The first 4 black connectors are for drives, etc..., the red ones for PCI-E. There's no set standard for what to put on each rail for these PSUs (or at least nothing that most manufacturers adhere to). Knowing XClio, I'd guess that all four drive connectors are on the same rail, but without good internal pics I couldn't say for sure. In any case, you shouldn't have any problems no matter which of the four connectors you use.
 
thank you.
really appreciate your input.
anyway my xclio greatpower 500w is running very quite.
7800gt colors during game are very bright. no game stalling or mingling parts
of game images. very happy.
huge difference between this one and apevia(haha). which had 16a over 12v1 and my vcore voltage jumped like bitch in heat. 1.1-1.3V even after I set it to 1.2750V I think. this one is stable at 1.23.
