Precision 5820 thunderbolt 4
Does Precision 5820 support thunderbolt 4 connection and does dell has an extension card for it ?
İn the motherboard there is an area for TBT header but nothing is soldered to it so I am wondering if I need to solder a 5 headed pin myself or is there a dell specific card out there

If the header isn't there, no -- you cannot add it.
If Thunderbolt was an option on the system, you'll need to replace the system board with one having that option.

There is an area in the motherboard with TBT initials.

I wonder what make OP thinks that 5820 can support thunderbolt 4. The latest processors being used in those system were Xeon W-2200 and Core-X series. They could only support thunderbolt 3.
Therefore, OP's thunderbolt 4 upgrade plan is a no go.
