Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my Dell Precision 3680 from an i7 14700 to an i9 14900k. The motherboard has a proprietary 10-pin power connector, but my current PSU is 500w with an 8-pin connection. I haven't found any PSUs that support a 10-pin connector, only standard 24-pin ones. If anyone has advice on whether I should go for a 10-24 pin adapter, which one should I consider? Thanks in advance!

Honestly, if your motherboard isn't designed for the power that an i9 uses, I wouldn't recommend this upgrade. It's likely not going to handle the extra energy demands without issues.
The i9 14900k is actually listed as supported for the 3680, though.
