CPU power 8 pin to 4 + 4 Extension (Amazon)
CPU power 8 pin to 4 + 4 Extension (Amazon)
I grabbed this CPU power extension because the PSU cable was basically not long enough to comfortably reach the top CPU power header. It also splits into 4+4, so it plays nice with modern PSUs while still letting you plug into the Optiplex’s 4-pin CPU power.

Pros
- +Fixes the CPU power cable length issue in the Optiplex 7040 case
- +4+4 split makes it compatible with typical PSU CPU power leads
Cons
- -Adds more cable clutter if you don’t cable-manage carefully
- -Not every build will need it depending on PSU cable length
