Can someone point me to where I can purchase one of these? It's for powering a Quadro GPU via 6-pin motherboard power connector.
I'm not sure what you're asking. I'm trying to plug in from the 6-pin power connector on this board, not from my PSU.What are the power outputs from your power supply. if there are none (like on a dell T130/T140) you would have to pull from other connectors

Ah I see. How does one know if your PCIe slots needs more power?The 6-pin GFX_12V1 connector on this board is used to provide more power to the PCIe slots. You plug your PSU's 6-pin PCIe power cable to this connector.
Makes sense, thank you. Idk how I missed that in the manual.The note on the page 29 of the manual says "Install the PSU’s power cable to this connector when 4 graphics cards are installed."
My guess is that by "graphics cards" they mean any devices pulling close to 25W from the slot. I doubt that the cable will be needed for videocards powered directly from PSU.
