6 pin PCI Express ... help please

[2flash]

Hi.

I recently recieved a Sapphire 5770 Vapor X video card from a friend.

But he couldnt find the power cable.

Now ive seen some difernces between 6 pin pci power cables.

I have a spare from another video card, but it has only 5 pin conected. Ive seen on one of the review that the original cable from the box is diferent, has all 6 pin conected.

I looked on the internet for some documentation about PCI Ex but i couldnt find anithing solid.

There are 2 pics attached. One of them have refence cable from the original box and the other one is what i have.

Whats the diference ?

Can I use the one that i have ?

for example:

my lights run on a molex with only 2 of the pins in the connector - but i do not ask for a 2pin molex connector... (they dont exist)... i get a normal one
