I have an OCZ Modstream and one of the cables has a 6-pin connector that says PCIE on it. I have a DFI Lanparty Ultra D mobo, and it doesn't have any 6-pin connections on it. What is this 6-pin cable for? It looks like a 12 volt power cord, but with six terminals.
 
6 pin is for PCI express video cards. I use it for my 7800GT, then 6800s are a bit older, they might not of had them yet.
 
I think the 6600GT is the only one that didn't require extra power unless it was the 6600GT using the AGP slot. I think it got just enough power from the PCIe slot....
 
Yeah my power supply has a PCIE connector too, it just sorta sits there, My 6600GT doesn't have a PCIe connector.
