On my video card there are six pins that are sticking out from the vidoe card, but on the wire itself, the 6 pin wire, it only has 5 pins, the bottom middle pin in my 6pin wire is not there, i mean it has the hole, but doesn't have a pin, or power to it. anyone have that?

also to add to this, this 6pin wire came with the video card, just wanna know if this is normal or not, i know on my power supply it has all pci express wire with all six pins.

thank you.

its okay, it just means that your card require a extra connector but that don't need as much juice as some of the even higher end models.
