GTX 1060 - Anomalous 6 pin connector.

Go to solution Solved by emosun,

it's fine , it's still keyed correctly.

TMK no gtx 1060 ever had a non standard pci-e connector , not even oem cards. Yours looks like a normal founders edition

I was reassembling some parts on a new cabinet and came across a different looking GPU 6 pin power input. According to its manual, this GTX 1060 should have the following pin patter:

From Left to right and top to bottom: Top Row = D D Square. Bottom row = Square D D.

 

 

However the atual hardware i have here is as follow:

Anomalous Pattern = Top Row = Square, Square, D. Bottom Row = D, D, Square.

 

My power supply follows the correct patter, the first one, the one user manual says it should be.

The power supply 6 pin pci connector connects fine with the GPU, despite having a different pattern. The thing is, Im not sure if its just a manufacturing defect or the problem extends to circuitry level. I don't know how this GPU was mounted on the old cabinet, for when i took the job the parts were already disassembled. The previews IT guy moved to another company and i have no way to contact him. I don't know how to troubleshooting this, and im afraid of burn the GPU. 

I welcome any advice. 

Thanks in advance for the attention.

It's just a difference in mold. The connection is still the same, and as long as it works, that's really what matters here. No change in longevity.
