Never looked closely at an i5 age mobo before, its got some weird 6pin power connector on the mobo I've not seen before, so I'll have to poke through the extra bits n pieces and see if there's anything that suits.

Are you shure it's for power? There should be the normal atx 24 pin, and then the cpu 4 pin near the cpu.
Is that a Dell motherboard? I've been researching upgrading the video
card in my Optiplex 5070, and in order to support a video card with a power connector I need a bigger power supply, and in order to do that I need to get a power adapter from the power supply to a smaller pin connector on the motherboard.

Ahh no, although I'm using a Optiplex 990 for the daily compute. She's
an ASROCK mobo with some kind of i5 installed in it. Seems weird to supply extra 12v to the mobo to supply a video card. A lot of the cards require a seperate 12v from the supply directly. For which the adapters are around out there.
Yeah, right - I'm not sure what I was thinking. I've bought off-lease Dells for the past 10+ years and not messed with the innards, I'm way
out of touch. Was given a video card with a 4 and 6-pin power
connector, apparently some people power them off of SATA power but have concerns about it. I'll stick with a GTX 1030 for the time being.

Its closer to the CPU than the bus so it could I guess supply both. Definitely got the standard ATX header.. If in doubt get the manual
out, yes it came with those too :) Its listed as ATX 12v, current test supply doesn't have it available. Definitely closer to the CPU than the BUS.

as pF mentioned, it's probably a dell machine with their wonky PSU.
there are a few videos on youtube showing how to make adapter cables or doing case/power supply swaps that need the adapter

My new Gigabyte MB has an 8-pin power connector instead of the 4-pin...
but you can plug a 4-pin connector into it if that is what your ATX
half to give you 4-pins if that is what your mb needs.
