Hey guys, I just bought this bad boy from eBay to upgrade the graphics card in my DAW. The card came with a 6-pin PCIe to dual Molex 3-pin power cable, but my tower doesn't have Molex connectors, it has mini 6-pin connectors. Am I right in thinking I can just get a 6-pin PCIe to 6-pin mini-PCIe cable and it'll work?
Here's my concern:
If you look at the 6-pin to 6-pin cable, you can see that all six holes have a metal piece in them. However, on the 6-pin to molex Y cable, only 5 of the 6-pin cables actually have a metal piece in them; one of the middle pinholes is empty, and two of the wires are connected to one pin.
What's wrong with that? He doesn't want to do "muh gaymen" with it.
