It fits into the PCI-e 6 pin slot. I'm not turning it on though until I know it wouldn't fry my card.

PCI-E 6 pin slot? You mean the PCI-E power connector? That comes from the PSU?
They are "backwards" compatible AFAIK.

No, I literally mean the "AGP Pro 6-Pin" as it is labeled. It is what my PSU has instead of the PCI-E. Did previous AGP cards even have extra six pin connectors? I have no idea what this thing is for. See my PSU in the sig.
Edit: "for quad xeon tyan 2466 motherboards" apparently. Ok, I'm a bit confused.

I don't think it'll fry your card then... It is called a PCI-E Power Connector, and the worst that can happen is that it only goes 5V instead of 12V, and that won't hurt it much (if at all!)

I'd call your PSU maker first. Just to be sure.

I would call before using it.
Looks at the pinouts for pci-e power: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...ocking/psu/116 and the 6-pin: http://pinouts.ru/Power/atxaux_pinout.shtml Different voltages, I would not try it.

Mine looks exactly like the PCI-E (3 top, 3 bottom). I looked around, it seems it's
something for xeon server mobos only (like the EZ power plug next to the 12 pin on asus mobos)
