Dell Optiplex 7010 Desktop PSU Upgrade

[bosworth52]

I have the second largest model of the Optiplex line and have purchased a Corsair cx650 and a new atx case. I read somewhere that the Dell power connectors are non standard with wiring configurations and wanted to know how avoid issues. Thanks

The CX650 PSU is not compatible with the DESKTOP version of the 7010. It doesn't use a standard ATX PSU...SORRY

Do you know of any adapters for the connectors?

NOPE , IT'S PROPRIETARY and doesn't accept or fit ATX PSU's , only the Micro Towers do.

Sorry just trying to get a better understanding here, the connectors differ between models with some using standard wiring?

dell usually use 20 pin instead of 24 pin connectors to power the main board, that is a first issue, as for the secondary power (12v) standard is 4 or 8 pin I am unsure what your motherboard has, could you open case and look on motherboard and tell me the model number on the label on the MB itself.,

First your motherboard uses 24 pin and 4pin (shown on board in red squares below) connectors. so that is standard and good news
the problem normally arrises with orientation of the board (it looks like an MATX board, but until you extricate it and try to fit inside a standard case you may not know if the external ports fit in the slot of the case.
the second problem is not the sata and usb connectors those look fine, but the powering on/off, led Hdd led etc. switches/leds are usually NOT standard. and that is a pain to figure out unless you trace the lines to the header on the board and make your own pin out from the standard connectors that come with your case, a little DIY will like be falling on you on this part
aside that I don't see an issue takeing this out of the dell case and putting it into a standard case. trial an error will tell you better than I can

according to this thread I have found the motherboard seems to fit a standard case, and the discussion about the cabling following the enquiry may help you in the end. https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/dell-optiplex-7010-motherboard.198629/

below is the layout of your connectors on your motherboard (taken from service manual listed above)
