Go to SolutionAurora R10, 2 pins missing from cpu cable
I bought an 1000W psu off ebay for the alienware aurora r10 ryzen edition. I’m connecting the plugs and the cpu cable is missing the cables for 2 of the 8 plugs. i’m not too good with pc’s but i think im doing everything right. Is the missing pins the problem?

If your original PSU was wired the same it will not be an issue. If your original was wired 8 it might be an issue.
I have seen R10 pictures from others with 8 wired up, while others show 6 wired up.
I am theorizing that the 6 PIN is for the 65 Watt CPU models while the 8 PIN is for the higher Watt models.
I had a 3080 in my R10, which at the time was the second highest GPU you could get and it only had 6 wires.
I am thinking it supplies power to the VRM and 75 watts to the PCI-e video card slot.

you might be using the modular cable of a Dell modular 1000w psu for multiple models including area 51 XPS aurora. double check the power cable. there should be a dedicated 8 pin CPU power cable for the R10 8 pin CPU power socket. this cable in pic might be an auxiliary gpu power cable not meant for R10. please upload the DP/N of the cable.

if vendor claims it is for R10, can you upload a pic of psu factory label?

The dp/n of the cable is 0MD63V. im almost sure it’s the cable that goes into the cpu slot as none other fit.

this is a modular Dell psu which came with a set of proprietary cables. all the cables have 6 pin on psu side.
also ask Vandaniel to upload R10 6 pin power cable DP/N.
as you can see in Dell part description, vendor shipped you a PCIe 8 pin cable (6 pin actually wired). it is not the CPU cable.
for the Dell R5-R8 those proprietary boards have a dedicated GPU_PWR 8 pin socket on board, which some claim must be plugged in before the board can POST. R10 board has got rid of that socket. but this cable might be a left over from legacy models.
I assume you had 550w non modular psu before and are trying to upgrade to 1000w. the 850w/1000w and 1300 w Dell psu are all modular.
