I am in the process of building a pc with said gpu. Seemingly it does not need to be connected to the power supply but instead has another set of pins next to the pcie x16 which needs to be inserted. The issue comes from the fact that I don’t see anywhere to connect the pins next to the pcie slot on the motherboard (ROG Strix B650-A Gaming WiFi)
