Question:

Are there any other connectors to power a motherboard?

Besides a 24/20/20+4-Pin? OR is there a 24/20 pin Y cable?

Answer:

there are two more i cant think of the name but they are old tech and we don't use them any more u can find these on computers back in the 80's
Older ATX motherboards use a 20-pin ATX power connector. Newer ones use the 24-pin or 20+4 pin main ATX power connector plus a 12V ATX power connector. The 20+4 connector is versatile because it could connect to either an old or a newer motherboard. There is also a 20-pin to 24-pin adapter that old power supplies could use for connecting to newer motherboards. The 12V ATX connector could be 4-pin (yellow and black) or 4+4 pins. The 12V ATX connector is now the main source of power of the Voltage Regulator MOSFETS that supply the processor.
