Some video cards require more than the 75W that the 6-pin PCIe connector is rated for, so they use an 8-pin connector--which adds more grounds, increasing the rating to 150W. Most PSUs provide these as a breakaway tab on the 6-pin connector, providing more flexibility. If your card doesn't use an 8-pin connector, just ignore the 2-pin breakoff. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DSinc Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 11:09 AM To: HWG Subject: [H] New to Seasonic psu What is the 2-pin flat (black wires) plug that is part of my "PCIE" modular cord of a Seasonic SS-650KM psu? I plan to ignore this 2-pin plug.......and plug the 6-pin plugs into the video card. My googling has not helped with this. I believe I should use these "PCIE" cords for a pending Video card upgrade. The pending video card has two 6-pin 'power' connectors that match these modular cords on the upper rear of the card (Asus enGTX-560/oc). Sorry, I am still learning thisnew PCIE logic. Best, Duncan
