GeForce RTX 4090 installation Precision 3680
Hey forum members!
Does any of you have a Precision 3680 with a GeForce 4090 installed? If so, would you mind sharing a pic of the card installed in there, and most importantly the power adapter that Dell uses to feed it? I bought the computer with an RTX 4000 Ada pre-installed, which had a 2x8-pin -> 12vhpwr adapter (non-angled), but it appears that for the 4090 a different, 3+ input, angled 12vhpwr adapter is needed? Please help!
(My power supply is already the 1000W version)

actually P3680 board looks just like XPS 8960 or Aurora R15. all have 12 + 4 +4 socket on mobo and use same line of psu's. Dell does this all the time. almost same oem board with slightly different minor detail and different bios put in different case and call it a different model.
you will get your answer by looking at XPS or Aurora users connect 1000w psu to Dell RTX 4090 oem

Many of retail cards will also provide 12vhpwr angled adapter with the cards. If your does not come with one, it can be source from big shopping site.
You may concern about power supply does not provide three 8-pin cables for graphics. On the older workstations Dell uses one 8-pin to dual 8-pin dongle, with Dell part number 0G22MM, to provide up to four 8-pin PCIe power cables for graphics.

Thank you all for the replies. I will certainly source the 3x8-pin -> 12vhpwr angled cable, from Dell or elsewhere.
As some of you speculated, the remaining issue is the power ports that the Power Supply provides. Right now, what's available is 2x8-pin, plus 2x6-pin. Should I get a 2x6pin -> 8-pin adapter to create the 3rd 8-pin input? Or a splitter as suggested in other postings to split one of the provided 8-pins into two? What do you see in your other Dell systems that use a 1000W Power Supply?
Thanks!

this says 2x8 pin from psu but the pic shows three cables coming out of it. I speculate the 3rd cable just connect to 2x6 pin from psu combined into a single 8 pin.

Just to follow up on a solution that appears to work (for me at least).
I used a 2x6-pin to 8-pin cable to create a 3rd 8-pin input, and then an angled 3x8-pin -> 12vhpwr adapter to plug into the 4090 itself. This seems to have worked! It's a snug fit, but apparently it's working.
For reference, when I tried to plug in *only* the 2x8pin inputs into the GPU, it would not power up.
Thanks for all the advice!
