As far as I'm aware, the 4-pin CPU header is the same as on normal ATX motherboards. I don't think they did anything to that so the 4-pin power from an ATX PSU will work there as well. It is needed and I would expect it to not boot without it as that's where the CPU gets it's power.

sell the 3050 on ebay, and buy a proper motherboard, CPU, and case.
v3 and v4 Xeons are still great and you can get a 14c28t for $25. I have one paired with my A2000 and it runs CP2077 at 1080p Ultra and that was before even power modding the GPU.
I'm residing in Mexico, so Ebay gets kinda expensive here, but definitely will consider it.
Well any selling site, facebook marketplace, etc
