Hey, i recently bought a exp gdc beast with express card, dell da-2 PSU and GTX660 GPU, what i missing is 6pin to 6pin wire. I'm i have several spear 4, 8 pin connectors and planning to just to make it myself. Should the connector wiring be exactly the same as the other end?:

Yes, the side 6-pin PCIe pin output connector is wired  as shown:

Hey, 
I have a similar  issue but with a 8 pin dell da-2 psu. I want to connect the dell psu and the side of beast 9.0b m.2 but the pins do not match.
I ve written more about the issue in this thread :

To do: Create my signature with system and expected eGPU configuration information to give context to my posts. I have no builds.
