i'm gettin it tomorrow but ive never seen a molex connector straight on the board before. here's a link. it's a male connector so does that mean i can plug a fan into it or does it need the power supply plugged in there? i dont wanna fry it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?Image=13-128-321-02.jpg%2c13-128-321-03.jpg%2c13-128-321-04.jpg%2c13-128-321-05.jpg%2c13-128-321-06.jpg&CurImage=13-128-321-04.jpg&Depa=0&Description=GIGABYTE+GA-M55SLI-S4+Socket+AM2+NVIDIA+nForce4+SLI+ATX+AMD+Motherboard+-+Retail

It's for additional power to the PCI X 16 slots.
Here is the manual:

There is additional info on page 16. If you do a search in the manual for pcie, you will find more info on it as well.

the molex connector is for the PCIE
Plug a plug from the power supply into it
If you dont plug the power supply into it it wont boot up (same with the 4 pin plug over by the cpu)
Heres a link to what plug from the power supply goes into it except it wont have the "p6" printed on it
