Hello All,
(Using the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500 Classified Power Supply)
What would be best for overclocking the CPU and GPU single or multi rail +12V outputs using the x79 Motherboard with a i7-3970X CPU and 3 each GTX 680 Classified Video Cards.
What Ports would I use for best powering the Video Cards?
Thanks
Bill

    Single Rail is best, with multi rail you have to know what cables to use to balance the load properly.

    Gaming Rig: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x @ 4.25Ghz - Asrock B450 Pro 4 - 16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3000 - 240GB SSD (OS), 1TB ADATA SU800 SSD and 2TB ADATA SX8200 Pro M2 NVME (Games) - 8GB RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra - Sound Blaster Audigy 5 RX - EVGA Supernova 750w G2 - Antec 302 - 24" Asus VG248QE

    Only the manual came with mine, no white paper.
    Do you have a link to this White Paper?
    Thanks
