strange question

[ste171]

regarding 6+2 pin power for gtx 480 graphics cards how many wires are supposed to be going into the connection, is it supposed to be 8 wires (one into each pin)?

only reason i ask as on my 8 pin cable there is only 7 wires! one pin has nothing going into it!

you'll have to forgive me as im quite rubbish at explaining things, but on the 8 pin to the 6+2 pin, on the 8 pin side which goes into the psu there is an empty space on the pin the empty space is across the same line where the yellow wires are goin in, and on the black wires there are 2 black wires goin into the one pin, if any of that makes sense

the psu is OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply
