or you can just grab an adapter from PPC for 8 bucks which is what i did and bam no ugliness coming from the card.
Or you can do it for free with a little piece of wire, there are'nt any stores that sell the adapter that you mention, nor are there any etailer's in my country(UK) that sell them, I only saw one store in the US that stock them. Anyway this is what I did to unlock the overdrive function in CCC.
First I made 3 loops with the wire.
Then placed the wire on the 3 pin things like in the photo
I confirm that this mod is 100% working and as you can see it's not ugly, I think it's cute looking![]()

Because the extra ground wires increase the possible current flow.Added stability. Me personally I wouldn't do the mod as described here, but as long as it works for you, be happy about it.
Quote from one of our professors:

Sometime ago I was planning on getting a 2900XT (it didn't come to be though) so I modded the 6pin PCIe powerplug of my Seasonic M12:
