I contacted the manufacturer and was told it was a manufacturing error. Have to RMA it with them now. I would not recommend this item because of that.

Great product! My motherboard did not have enough of the connectors I needed to install my new video card, so I bought this little adapter for a reasonable price and was able to get my video card running smoothly.
