Now I have read through this and am still have a query that I did not see an answer for (I probably did but....) is then a modular PSU in reality a multiple 12v+ rail PSU if there are more than say two module power sockets carrying 12v+ in addition to the main cable that has the 24pin connector on it and flying cables?
I used a single rail Corsair HX 650 on the last build going on what Scott Mueller stated in his build video and book about having a single rail PSU as being the preference - against a twin or multiple 12v+ rail unit.
I am just curious because if the modular PSU is a single rail then the modules would have to be supplied by the main rectification unit (internally connected) that supplies the flying cables as above making it as stated by Corsair a single 12v+ rail PSU. So in essence making it modular just saves on more flying cables having to be tucked away unused.
