Hi guys! I just noticed this motherboard has a 10pin power supply connector on it?
How would I (and do I even) need to plug that in???
Here is the motherboard:

And as you can see on the bottom-left of the picture on that motherboard, it has a 10pin connector. Is that for the CPU?
How do find a connector for that?


EDIT: here is the link to the motherboard Dell Precision T5810 LGA2011 DDR4 Workstation Motherboard K240Y | B321

You'll need something like this:

I assume this an IBM/Lenovo? They're known for having 10-pin connectors on their proprietary motherboards. I'm not personally a fan of adapters for any CPU/PCIE ports, but if you can't get a standard motherboard, they'll get the job done.

Awesome thank you!
So, just to confirm I will have to find a PSU that supposed another 24pin connector so I can use that 24pin to 10pin?

edit: I cannot find a PSU that supports 2 ATX 24pin connectors. Do you know of any by chance?

Ah, I thought this was an IBM/Lenovo; that changes things a bit. I'll have to see if I can track down some documentation for this specific motherboard. That you updated with more information is extremely helpful!

I'm sure I can get any non-dell PSU to work. Just need to know what wire needs to come from where is my problem haha.
I am very experienced with electrical things so I can solder my own thing together if need-be but just not sure what wires and where 0.o
