See if you can determine the ground pins. Measure with a multimeter and try to find a bunch of pins that measure 0 ohms beteeen any of them. Try to find another group, this will likely be power. Of course, they could be the other way around... The IHS MIGHT be connected to ground. As long as most of these power and ground pins are there, some can be missing. Just don't try massive overclocks...
