You mean sth like this?
In my machine it's part of the PSU cable salad; probably "adapted" to the main trunk with something like above.
It's literally a cpu power connector. If you can solder and you have a scrap psu you can jerry rig a new cable. Hell. i made a whole wire loom out of one of those sata ports.
Lol, what a solution. Crazy build. I wouldn't worry too much about thermals. Even 80-90°C should be still acceptable, with the card only throttling above 90
In the end i managed by adding two fans under the desk. And wiring them through a switch to one of the free MOLEX. Now it never goes over 77°C. Even at full tilt
This is insane
The wiggle room on the actual pins saved you :-). I'm frankly surprised lenovo didn't change pinouts between versions. They are more than capable of that.
It's a thinkcentre right?
So you needed SFF, the seller didn't specify theirs was SFF, and when it came it wasn't SFF? Am I confused?
Looks like EPS power, which is to power the CPU.
You should be able to put your model number into here and find the exact part for your computer: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/parts-lookup
You might have problems with it not being the right pinout if you get a generic part as I think their solution is proprietary (and psu pinouts aren’t even standardized anyways, though I imagine it goes though the motherboard in this case).
