Hi Guys,

I just purchased a Cooler Master v850 PSU and I've been having some trouble with the PCI-E cables.

The cables are quite clearly labelled 'PSU' on one end and 'PCI-E' on the other, so there's little doubt which end goes where.

The problem is, the 8-pin connecter on the PSU side has a little plastic bridge between two pins preventing it from plugging in. You can see an example of what I mean here: http://www.playtool....tml#pciexpress8.

So, I'm not sure how I can get any suplemental power to my new graphics card (EVGA GeForce GTX780) and I'm at a loss as to why this type of cable would be included with the PSU if it doesn't fit.

All 4 PCI-E cables are the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do I need an adapter or something?
