GeForce 5900XT Molex Plug

[anot]

HI, is there another way to check if the molex plug on my 5900xt is connected or not (aside from opening my case and inspecting it), If i don't connect the molex plug, what would happen? Will i have a dead card?

If the card is not connected you will get an error message upon Windows startup. The card will not be damaged but it will run at a significantly reduced clock speed.
