It drives me crazy that for years, Enermax has not found a technical writer who is proficient in English. Actually they don't have a technical writer who is proficient at all. The manual for the PSU is unintelligible. You'd think they could pay some tourist or exchange student fifty bucks to write 4 or five comprehensible paragraphs.
How hard is it to hook up a power supply? Hard.
First, there are sets of custom exotic cables, that are only for specific motherboards, chipsets, GPU cards, and combinations of the above. For example, there are 6 "PCI-E" cables. My theory is that one is for any single PCI-E GPU, one is only for some ATI GPUs, and a set is for twin NVidia SLI cards. Which is which? Undocumented, and all the cables can be plugged into the wrong card or socket on the PSU. Oh, and, there is no documentation of the "Master" vs. "Slave" PCI-E sockets on the PSU.
The first 4 attempts at POST failed, with the PSU making scary beeps. I just kept switching cables and ports until it POST worked.
So SLI builders, try using the pair of 6x6 red-ended cables, with the Master into PCI-E 0 and Slave into PCI-E 3.
