I bought a Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX980Ti card. It didn't come with a user manual which would explain the power connectors and no manual can be found from their homepage. There is two 8-pin power connectors on the side of the card and in addition there is also a 6-pin power connector at the end of the card. Could someone tell me what is this third power connector and should I also have power cable plugged there too?
Third power connector on Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX980Ti?

The 2 x 8 pin connectors and the slot provide for 375W of power. I can't imaging the card needing even that much, let alone more. But the extra 6 pin is detailed here: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-ti-extreme-gaming-waterforce-review,4.html
Still not sure why you would need it. In their own testing, they only got the card to consume 281W power: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_980_ti_extreme_gaming_waterforce_review,8.html
