So, I have a Corsair CS550M semi-modular power supply. I've been using it in my system for a while now, albeit without a GPU (I haven't been able to buy one yet). Since I'm now in the market for a 970 (even in light of their memory issue past 3.5 gb), I decided to check out my pci-e cord to make sure it would work out. And I noticed that the 8 pin side of it is missing a pin in it. I believe this is the side that goes into the PSU, as the other side has two 6+2 connectors. Those 6+2's have all of their pins.
Here is the missing pin side:
My apologies for the iPad camera.
Here you can see no wire is being fed into that slot:
And here (with the help of MS Paint), I try to show you that two wires are here being fed into the same slot! That's where the missing wire went.
Surely this can't be normal. Could this be dangerous to plug into a graphics card? Or would it actually work like normal? Does anyone have any idea what is happening here??
