My new PowerTek 750 does NOT fit my 8800 GTX!!!

[OsageCowboy]

The 6-pin connector from the psu has the following configuration:

ROUND ROUND SQUARE
SQUARE SQUARE ROUND

and the XFX 8800 GTX has this configuration for the 6-pin:
SQUARE ROUND ROUND
ROUND ROUND SQUARE

WTF is going on, and which one is incorrect, and what in the hell do i do now!? Would it be safe to shave one of the squares into a round to make it fit!? Please advise.

I'd take it back, and order a Corsair HX 520. Proven reliable, $106 shipped at zzf, and it will fit.

Do NOT shave the pins. Some of the pins are ground and some are +12v. If you shave them and shove it in there, you will be sending +12 into the ground. Result? Disaster.

The 8800GTX is right; your PCI-E connector is wrong.

Can you post a picture of both?

It sounds like this is the 6-pin AUX for EPS and not a PCI-e connector.

Powertek? I would take it back anyway.

They spell it coritinuous.

Right. And we all know "coritinuous" means "a continuous piece of Corinthian leather." Fools!

Never heard of this brand before. Just take it back and buy a Corsair/Seasonic and save yourself some trouble.

Sir Jonny of the land of GURU speaks the truth.
