@MrMan7716,

That plug is not specified as a PCIEx16 power plug.

Here is what is known, as I can not get any answers from higher up.

I'm pretty sure that this would work with a graphics card because the bottom 3 cables have yellow on them indicating that they are +12 volts and the top 3 are black indicating they are ground cables. What I described sounds like a regular 6-pin power connector and not a cable used for a motherboard leading me to believe the cable i have would work with a graphics card. Can anyone confirm what I said?

Would it kill my power supply if I tried a graphics card with this 6-pin connector?
