The 6-pin connector? That very much looks OK to me. I don’t see where it would go.
However there’s disconnected 2 pins on the graphics card.
Comment on What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?
viking@infosec.pub 5 months agoThat power connector is not supposed to hang loose in the air. Check the handbook for the mainboard to find out where it’s supposed to connect to.

That gpu looks like it only has 6 pins, not 8, so it could be fine.

It looks to me like that’s a 6+2 connector and they only needed the 6-pin so the +2 is just left dangling, which afaik is fine.

I saw 8 solder blobs, but I’m not sure if it’s actually an 8 pin anymore.

Oh, yeah, okay, good point. I didn’t notice the solder. I’m not sure if it’s actually a six pin anymore. I have zero clue how an 8 pin GPU would react to only having 6 pins.

It's fine. The PCI-e is another one for a graphics card that requires more connectors to be attached.

Looking at the Asrock product page, there is only an additional 8-pin-connector at the top left, no 4-pin.
