you might be a life saver if these work.  i actually just rewired some psu cords and found a redundant 6 pin cord going to one hard drive, that freed up a slot however the extensions provided made me realize the 6 pin connectors are female to female.
 
ill give these a try, and they are reasonably priced....thanks!

Most certainly!!! Just make sure you double and triple check my findings!!!

didnt, just ordered two of those things. if they dont fit i send the card back. wish me luck lol
spent enough time surveying power wires and trying to determine based on tiny pictures if the fitting all match up.
 
part of me is getting a feeling this is all happening to prevent me from installing a card that will catch fire wish me luck on that as well

If you have good case flow, change the BIOS if offered and do the thermal mod all should be well. Do not get caught up in all the misinformation others are babbling, questions-Email or call the source- might take them a bit to reply but you'll get the correct answer.   Besides it sounds like you have cable management handled. Good Luck either way!!!!
