XFX 9600 GT Alpha Dog - Grey Cable ?

Hi,

I've purchased the XFX 9600 GT Alpha Dog Card, and there is a Grey cable inside.

On the card there is a two pin header for it. The other side of the cable splits into two individual headers.

I have no idea where it goes, nor what it's for.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Pav

could be spdif, some of the newer cards allow for sound pass thru via a hdmi adapater

Where would I connect it to though ?

The motherboard I have is a P5K Premium

Do you use HDMI?

I've not fired up the PC yet. It's a new build.

With regards to HDMI - no I won't be (yet anyway), but the card does support HDMI output.

So if it is a audio connector, I have no idea where on the motherboard it would connect to.

It would connect to the SPDIF out of your audio card. But if you're not using HMDI it doesn't matter.

Just had a look, and the SPDIF out has 3 pins out, whereas this cable to the Graphics card only has two....

Spdif can have 2 pins:

See this thread on the MSI forum for some pictures and full explaination with a similar card:
