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
 
Yeah it's a pair of Titans, from what it appears is the bottom middle pin has a square plastic plug as opposed to the half moon that is on the titan so hence the thinking of shaving down the plastic surrounding the pin to allow it to fit (although I haven't checked the pin outs yet)

Did the diagram make sense? if not will get some pictures this evening

I suppose the main question is have I ordered the wrong lead or is it a "faulty" lead?
 
Bugger, I've raised an RMA request... although because some of the cables were part of a bundle I've got to send the whole lot back, so will have to strip down the whole PC :(
