Aurora R6 Cable
Hi! Today I bought an Alienware Aurora R6, everything works perfect. But my video card does not work (it was not included in the computer I bought). Now I checked better and I realize that on the motherboard there is a space to connect a cable called GPU. Can someone explain to me which cable I should buy and how to install it? There is no cable on the power supply that can go into that space. Thank you!

What model number of video card are you trying to install in the R6? This forum post may help and this page from eBay.

Thanks for answering. I have 2 video cards: 1050ti (no power cable required) and a 3060. However, even with the 1050ti I can't get video.

When an after-market graphics card is installed into a motherboard with Secure Boot enabled, the system may not boot.
UEFI is a new system BIOS feature that is provided on most new motherboards. A UEFI system BIOS is required in order for the Secure Boot feature to work. Secure boot is enabled by default.
The other reason for a 1030 1050 1060 1070 1080 card to not work is that its a fake card.
In order to get the PC to boot with a graphics card that does not contain Microsoft Certificate in bios, the end-user must first disable the secure boot feature in the system's SBIOS before installing the graphics card and enable LEGACY CSM and option Roms.
Instructions for manually disabling secure boot:
1) Power down the system
2) Remove the NVIDIA Add-in card
3) Boot the system using integrated graphics
4) Enter CMOS settings. CMOS settings can usually be accessed during boot, typically by pressing one of F2, F12, F2, F12, (depends on the system firmware)
5) Set Secure Boot to disabled
6) If there is an option, set CSM (or compatibility or legacy mode) to enabled.
7) Save the new settings
Power down the system
9) Install the NVIDIA Add-in card
10) The system should now boot
* Older existing Legacy NVIDIA based cards and Motherboards are not UEFI capable.
If your card manufacturer is unable to supply you with an update, and you
have class 3 bios there is NO CSM and therefore no way to get your card to work. CSM and Legacy is required for older cards.

Hello, thank you very much for the help. I have already changed my system to "legacy" but I can't use my 1050ti card. As you can see in the photos, I don't have the cable that is connected to the motherboard and there is also no one that comes out of the source that can go in there. When I try to turn on the PC with the video card, the integrated video does not work, so I know that the card is recognized by the card but it has no power since the fan of the video card does not turn on.
