so, there's two 18A 12volts rails,
Does the two PCIE 6pin connectors on the PSU each run on their own rail ?
i need 35A total for my xfx DD r9 270x, it requires two 6 pin.

*if the two connectors run on the same rail, could i use a molex to 6pin ?

The R9 270x does not use 35A.
Each six pin connector supplies 75 watts .
The PCI-E connector supplies 75 watts.
225 w=18.75Amps total
18amps on the 2 6pin connectors is plenty of power.
Please do not use molex adaptors. The 2 6pin supply all the power the card will need.

so the card only needs 12.5A from 6 pin ?

A Radeon R9-270X NEEDS at least 24 amps on the 12v rail and a 500w power supply.

You have 2 - 18 amp rails which is sufficient to power your card,

what's the worse thing that can happen if the PSU isn't enough to power the card? will it just not boot or damage the card/psu ?

Your power supply is a good unit, not great but good.
It will have no problems powering your card and system.
Stop worrying and enjoy.
It is a tier three unit.
