I just bought a refurbished ASUS Xonar Essence ST and it finally came in today.
 
I've hooked it up to the power supply via the molex connecter, but I'm not sure if it's using that power or not.  Is there a way to verify that the card is indeed using the power from the PSU as it's suppose to?
 
Thanks.

It won't function properly w/out it, so if you're hearing the "Essence" of sound you expected, it is.

I think it will actually tell you after you boot in to the OS that the power is not connected.

Everything must be in working order.
