I am building my first system and most of my parts showed up today. I am looking at my Ultra XVS 600w PSU and I noticed that the 6-pin pci-e connector looks wrong. Here is a picture.
Shouldn't there be a sixth pin in the connector? I was also wondering why two wires are going into the lower center hole. If anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
I can take pics of two of them, I don't wanna power down this pc just to take a pic of it. Also, for shits and giggles I checked out Newegg's pics of psu's and all the ones that I looked at that show a clear pic have it the way I described.
gcolefla, your connector is right, and it will work.
It may work, but it is obviously not correct. I found 10+ more pictures with wires in each pin on newegg, but not a single one that loos like the pics the op posted.
According to a review is says this:

* Sleeping Beauty Modular cables
* Flex-Force wiring
* Single 35A 12V rail
* Quiet
* Rugged good looks
* Good stability
* Great efficiency up to 75% load
* Decent ripple
* Waking Ugly No 3.3V line on the SATA
* PCI-e uses one molex pin to power three 12V lines
* Only two SATA connectors
* Full load efficiency tanks
* Low PF
* No EPS 8 pin
* No SLI support

Well thanks for all of your input. It seems like that cable will work it just looked kind of strange.
Oh and I know that that power supply is not a very trusted brand but I am giving them a shot. I think it is actually a nice looking psu. Plus I am only building a midrange system. I probably only need half of the wattage. Well thanks again
Just additional info. Top row is +12v, Bottom Row of 3 pins are all Rturns (Gnd). On video card Pins 4,5,&6 are prabably shorted togetter, and pins 1,2,and 3 are probably shorted togetter, Woluld only make a difference if the 3 +12V pins use more than one rail.
Just received my X1950XT yesterday evening. PS has two PCI-e 6 pin connectors. P5 has V3 +12 only, while p4 has V1 +12v. The Vidcard supplied a 6 Pin adaptor - Only has 3 Wires into pci-e connector ( one +12 and 2 Return lines. Pins 2, 3,and 6 are open.
