Saving Energy with a Multi-rail Power supply.

This is a bit of a hummble tutorial but its important since it saves on wasting energy. I don't claim to be a electrician, but with what common sense I do have, I know that if I can avoid drawing energy then I should, in order to save me on my eletric bill when I can.

TLDR: found out which slots you are not using and which one goes to the motherboard and click the checkmark for those boxes, and remember to save.

                                        

I am using a multi-railed power supply  which basically mean it splits the source so not all of the electricity comes from one source, but rather multiple sources depending on what you need. 

I start off by simply finding out which port are being used for what.

In my case my chasse was too tight to use PCI-E ports 3,4 and 8, so they would be the first I select to be provisioned, I found out that PCI-E 5 & 2 and 6 & 7 where being used by my graphics cards so those I have to leave at full power. PCI-E 1 is being used by my motherboard which is fine for multirailing too.
