Need help with X1800XT Power connection!

[Trikat]

Thx for the help guys. Ok let this thread die now or delete it!

Hey guys.
I just got my Sapphire X1800XT 512MB video card fitted into my computer and found out there is no extension cable. Because of this I cannot power the X1800XT graphic card.
I noticed that my OCZ powerstream 520W SLI does have power connection that might fit the socket on the graphic card.
I do not want to risk plugging in that power cable as it might fry the graphic card.
So my question is, is the power cable from the OCZ powerstream 520W sli compatable with the Sapphire X1800XT graphic card?

ATOT is much busier than Tech Support.

Yes, that's fine. it's a PCIe power connector for video cards specifically.

Alright I'll go ahead and try it out.

Pretty much with computers.. If it fits, plug it in; it's supposed to be there.

But, there are some exceptions.. I think the old Intel Socket 370 was pin-compatible with the AMD processors at the time.. though they weren't compatible chips.
