Hello Hewlett Packard. 😀 that there that i have circled in Red! do i have to use that for the Desktop Motherboard? i would like it if you can recommend a higher watts Power Supply with that same connector circled in Red.

can you recommend Power Supply for a Z220 CMT Workstation? i want to use a MSI NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti 6GB DDR5 Graphics card but i don't have enough Power Connectors for the Graphics card. i've only got 1 Power connector for a Graphics Card.

Please See This image.

That here in Circled in Red! what is that called?

Check and see if you have the UEFI bios else that card will not work

That GTX 980 Ti had a minimum power requirement of 600 watts.  I think your power supply is either 240 or 400

@SDH has some graphic card recommendations here

I would click on that TPU link to the 980ti and scroll up and down to find a graphic card that fits in the 400 watt range.

for example the RTX 3050

Yes! My Hewlett Packard Z220 CMT Workstation came with 400W Power Supply. it doesn't have enough PCI Cable connectors for the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti 6GB DDR5. i need to get a high watts power supply. what should i get and where i can buy one? maybe on ebay or something?

This user obtained a z420 power supply, 600 watts, but had to wire up an 8 to 4 pin adapter.

Since the 8 pin is standard EPS then any motherboard 8 pin extension will work as long as it ends up in a pair of 4 pin.

Something like this even.

You should verify that the 4 pin on the motherboard has the +12 and GND connections on the same pins as the extension cable.

Lemme know if I can help.
