pciexpress power (Quick question)

[pipestrangler]

Just a quikie guy's. On a 6pin power plug for a graphics card, dose it matter if all six pins are wired or (like the illustration in my graphics card manual) only 5 pins are wired? (The difference is three yellow wire's rather than two).

Thanks

Dunno, Ive only ever seen them with all 6 wired. I dont suppose it matters much (or at all). If there is isufficient power, the card usually tells you be screaming. If yours is 6 pin wired, then use it, it may or may not work with 5 pins wired.
