Hey all,
I just picked up a 7800GTX and a new 600 watt Cooler Master PSU. When I tried to hook it up, the PSU's 6-pin PCI-e Molex connector had the slightest deviation from the PCIe power connector on my video card.
The PSU's connector looks like this:

But the video card connector looks like it should be receiving a connector like this:

If you notice on the the second one, the center column of pins are both the 6-sided "house" form factor. However the PSU connector I have has a 6-sided connector on top, and the four-sided square connector on the bottom. I have no idea why cooler master would use a connector like this because I can't find evidence of there being different 6-pin PCIe connectors. The manual states it is for a video power source, but has anyone else had this issue? Been looking for hours and can't find a thing... I could force it in, but don't think that's such a good idea.
Many thanks in advance.
