Edit: Guys, you are not gonna believe this.
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.
Looks like EPS power, which is to power the CPU.
So you needed SFF, the seller didn’t specify theirs was SFF, and when it came it wasn’t SFF? Am I confused?
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?
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).
