The 24-pin cable from the power supply was divided into a 24-pin and a 6-pin version, which I connected to the motherboard. I plan to capture a photo of the cable once I’m back home. However, I’m still unsure about this step.

I noticed a 24-pin cable that divides into 20 and 4 pins. That’s what appears on the PSU page. Edit: Realized there’s something unique about the PSU side. Updated May 11, 2023 by leclod

I understand what you're observing and I'm becoming quite uncertain about my memory. I'll make sure to review this later once I'm back home and have the opportunity to examine the equipment.

The 24-pin connector could be split into two parts or consist of one single 24-pin unit. On the power supply side, there might be two connectors (such as 20 + 10), depending entirely on the PSU manufacturer's design. I noticed in Amazon images the 6-pin is on the PSU, meaning the 24-pin plus 6-pin should connect to the power supply. The 24-pin side goes into the motherboard. If the 6-pin isn't connected at the PSU end, one of those six wires might be the PS_ON wire or the PWR_OK wire that signals the motherboard the PSU is ready—without that signal, the chipset won’t recognize the power button and won’t send the start command to the PSU by connecting the PS_ON to ground.

It seems unclear what you're experiencing. You might want to check if the motherboard is functioning properly or verify your connection.

It seems there might have been a mistake with the connection. I possibly connected the extra 6-pin to the motherboard instead of the power supply. Since I haven't assembled a modern computer, I'm not fully familiar with the new cables. I'll attempt this again when I get home.

Yes, it's quite unusual to encounter this kind of connector on an MB and PSU. Both seem to work together. Updated on May 11, 2023 by leclod

It seems you're asking about connecting a 6-pin back to a power supply and whether the 12V 6-pin is available on the labeled 6-pins. Make sure you check the power supply's pinout to confirm compatibility.

No, likely a PCI-E 6 pin or PCI-E 6+2 setup (leave one pin free). I didn't review the manual or the motherboard image. Historically, if the board mentions extra connectors for powering PCI-E slots, it suggests a 6 or 8-pin configuration, since those connectors provide 12V. Check the manual... previously, adding extra 6-pin or 8-pin power connectors for PCI-E slots was optional, only recommended when you had multiple dedicated video cards. For just one video card in the PCI-E X16 slot, the 24-pin ATX connector's 12V wires should suffice.
