The

OCZ StealthXStream II 600W PSU, if thats whats in it?

has a 6pin and a 8pin that has a detachable 2pin making a 6pin PCI-E connectors.

they will only go into the side of the card one way around, there will be a little clip on them to keep them secure.

can you run something in the background such as Furmark in another window, and then see what CPU-Z says while the cpu is working hard?
