    good thread!
    YEP!!
    They put these floppy connectors for added current and added stability when 2 power hungry cards are installed.
    These connectors were also put in my previous lp dk p45 t2rs plus and also to my current LP DK X48 T2RS! just next to each PCIE slot!
    I made a a custom dual floppy connector and plugged it in and i have 2 rock stable 4850s @1,4 volts each!

    But i dont think well be seing floppys anymore...

    I also recall my P35 DS4 having a 4 pin molex for crossfire stability...
    But high end mobos today ignore these ways of extra power...
