I bought a set of these extension cables last week & it appears that the 6 pin PCI-E extension won't fit on to the 6pin connector on my graphics card
This is the cable in question
Upon closer inspection it looks that the connector isn't right, before I phone up Overclockers, have I actually bought the correct cable?
The connector is like this (hopefully these will show up sufficiently well to explain):
v = the retention clip
ΠΠ∩
∩∩Π
v
Whereas I appear to need
Π∩∩
∩∩Π
v
Part of me is minded to see if I can shave down the bottom middle pin, as it's the only thing stopping me from completing my shiny new water cooled build
