Hi,

I've just purchased the seasonic 860w as i plan to do sli in the future. This is the first time I've use a modular psu.

My question is, does it matter which pci-e socket I connect the pci-e cable to. There's 3 pci-e socket including 1 pci-e/cpu socket. Which one should I use?

Here's a picture to help illustrate my problem.

The 3 PCI-e slots are probably enough for normal 3 way SLI already. The leftover 1 pci-e/cpu is just in case ur graphic cards or cpu require more power by using extra 4, 6 or 8pin connectors.
