654 _ #UU (at Video card) UU# (#=Square connector, U=Square at top and U shaped at bottom) 321
456 = UU# (at cable from Power supply unit) #UU (#=Square connector, U=Square at top and U shaped at bottom) 123
Connectors are Molex Mini-Fit, Jr.
Connector at Power supply unit cable: Molex 45559-0002 (pins: Molex 39-00-0207, Molex 44476-1111 or Molex 39-00-0168).
Connector at Video card: Molex 45558-0002.<b/>
Use 18 AWG for all pins.
| Pin | Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | +12V (yellow) |
| 2 | +12V (yellow) (or N/C) |
| 3 | +12V (yellow) |
| 4 | GND (black) |
| 5 | GND (black) |
| 6 | GND (black) |
Note: Pin 2 is N/C (not connected) according to the specification. But most power supplies have +12V connected on pin 2.
