I noticed that the native SATA power cable coming from the PSU has an orange wire (3.3v) while the SATA power adapters (molex to SATA) don't.

So does it really matter which I use? I'm running my 3.3v rail @ 3.7v so I'm afraid of damaging the SATA drive if I use the native power connector. I ran it at 3.6v before with an SATA drive and it was fine, but 3.7v, I'm unsure about long term damage.

Thanks
