You guys mean all 5 pci connecters on psu provide 12v 70 amp? each

The +12V rail is one large one that can supply 70A total.

Unlike some other PSU's, the +12V rail are several smaller ones combined. Because of this you need to balance the system.power draw evenly to prevent the over-current protection from tripping.

The RM PSU you have uses a single powerful +12V, so you do not need to balance your system load. Just plug your 8-pin PCI-E connectors in.

It's like...I have 70 gummie bears in a box. I don't care how you split it up or what you do with them, as long as you don't beg for more than 70, you're okay.

your 12 volt can handle up to 70 amps, so your safe. you just need to use the 2 8 pin connectors.

Use VGA power cables coming from two different sources in your PSU. My PSU for example has labelled GPU 1, GPU 2, GPU 3, GPU 4 on it. Use two separate ones.
