    Hey i just bought the X-finity 500 watt. It has two 12 volt rails, one at 18 amps and the other at 16 amps. Each PCI-E connector is on its own rail, and marked with a sticker.

    I am wondering if there is any sort of cord splitter that would let me connect both of these PCI-E connectors into one PCI-E slot. So i'm needing some sort of Y-cable for PCI-E cords. But i can't seem to find any.

    I need this for my 8800 GTS, i bought this PSU because i just added the two rails together and thought to myself "hm 34 amps... should be great for my 8800 gts", but in reality these two rails are physically seperate, and my GTS only allows for one PCI-E cord to go into it.

    I already tried using the Y cable that came with my card for connecting two molex connectors to one PCI-E connection, but i recieved a lower 3Dmark score than by just using my one PCI-E 18 amps rail. If i could use both of my PCI-E connectors then i would have an ample amount of power being supplied to myh card.

    i don't think that there is an adapter to mate two PCIe connectors into one, that said, you could always make the adapter yourself.

    Okay, we don't need two threads on this.
