I bought a Seasonic FOCUS GX-750 power supply, which arrived today. I bought it to install it in my Dell Precision T3620.

As the PSU is fully modular, I assumed that it would come with both 24-pin and 8-pin motherboard connectors and thus not need the typical 24-pin to 8-pin adapters that most PSUs need to be installed in a Dell Precision. However, that seems not to be the case. There are some 8-pin connections on the PSU, but it appears that they may not be compatible with the motherboard, since they are not labeled as such.

Will I indeed need an adapter? And if so, is this a good one?

If it's not a good/reliable one, can you recommend any that are?

Yes the board has proprietary connectors.

If your hardware is expendable and your workmanship with soldering is good, go for it...if the motherboard get's ruined you can blame yourself for it. Personally, I wouldn't tinker with that motherboard electrically.
Lol, I would not too hahha. I only asked this out of curiosity because I saw it reminded me of the ATX 24 pin but without the slot. But you really need lots of skill in soldering and pretty much need to be precise. And I agree with you!
