Cut cord on ATX12v 4-Pin connector, still usable?

[ronniedude]

I got a PSU with a cut 12v pin on the 4-pin CPU power cable. If I tried using it in this state would all the ground needed just go through the other 12v connection (Left), would it work at all?

It will work if the PSU is good.

Good as in the quality of the PSU is reliable/not-cheap? Or good as in the rest of the PSU isn't also damaged?

Bit the bullet and tried to flip it on. Power... POST... Boot! Success!

Was the wire cut by accident or on purpose?
