"The yellow connector of unknown purpose is present only in reference boards handed over to test labs and those manufactured at own small production facilities of ATI for internal testing needs. It won't be there on cards which are to be shipped to the retail."

hope that helps im pretty sure it was used by the company to do scans and tests while they were beta testing it.

edit* reference boards are good to overclock and are usually made with a little bit more higher quality material so the reviewers can overclock it better thus giveing a better rating thus more sales for company. so overlock it if u want.
